Problem
Athletes and coaches often lack objective, real-time data during strength training, making it difficult to optimize workouts, prevent injuries, and track progress effectively. Traditional methods rely on subjective assessments of fatigue and intensity, leading to inconsistent training and potential overexertion.
Solution
Vitruve provides a Velocity Based Training (VBT) system that uses a linear encoder to provide athletes and coaches with objective data on velocity and power output during each repetition. The system enables precise regulation of training intensity by tracking metrics such as mean propulsive velocity (MPV), range of motion (ROM), and peak velocity. By monitoring velocity zones and fatigue percentages, users can optimize training loads, prevent injuries, and enhance performance. The Vitruve system includes mobile apps for both individual athletes and teams, providing real-time feedback, data visualization, and long-term performance tracking.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, and athletes at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels, as well as private training facilities and health facilities.
