Speed, Strength and Power
Maximum energy in every movement
Training
Introduction
Speed, strength and power are indispensable elements for the modern athlete. Power, understood as the ability to generate high levels of force in the shortest possible time, is decisive in every discipline: from jump explosiveness to speed in direction changes. Training power means optimising the coordination between nervous system and muscles, reducing fast-fibre recruitment times and improving movement efficiency. Speed is closely linked to these processes: often the difference between winning and losing lies in the ability to perform the same actions more quickly than opponents. Effective training alternates maximal and plyometric exercises, ballistic movements and tasks with submaximal loads, maximising energy and coordination while reducing overload risk. The integration of systems such as GykoPro, OptoJump Next, Witty SEM e Witty Timing allows monitoring objective parameters and planning targeted training sessions to maximise performance.

Configuration 1
Explosive Strength and Plyometrics (OptoJump Next)
Vertical and countermovement jump tests and training (SJ, CMJ, DJ) to assess reactivity and rapid force production. Flight times, contact times and RSI allow monitoring expressed power and neuromuscular coordination. The ideal solution for athletic preparation in the field, adaptable to any sport and level.
Configuration 2
Speed, Quickness and Coordination
Exercises with visual, acoustic and timed stimuli to develop movement speed and execution precision. Sprints, direction changes and incremental tasks train reaction speed and muscular control. Objective data supports progression and the translation of strength into applied power.
Configuration 3
Maximum Strength and Muscle Profile (Gyko Pro)
Measurement of maximum strength and muscle profile through controlled concentric-eccentric exercises. GykoPro records strength, speed and power, allowing personalisation of loads and progressions. Ideal for squats, bench press and deadlifts, it ensures maximum strength development with reduced injury risk.
Products suited for this field of application
GykoPro allows measuring strength, speed and power curve to personalise loads and progressions. OptoJump Next monitors jumps and plyometrics, recording RSI and flight and contact times. Witty SEM and Witty Timing Systems stimulate speed, coordination and precision, integrating strength and speed to maximise athlete power.
