Episode Synopsis

Dr Paul Comfort — Professor of Strength & Conditioning at the University of Salford and co-editor of Performance Assessment in Strength and Conditioning — delivered a sharp, practical tour of force-plate testing. He unpacked IMTP posture/straps, CMJ onset thresholds and “net vs gross” force, and why jump height comes from relative net propulsive impulse, not power. This podcast was recorded live at the UKSCA Annual Conference.
