When strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, physiotherapists and other gym-based practitioners alike design resistance training programs for their athletes and clients, they typically manipulate many training variables such as intensity, volume, rest, frequency, tempo etc. Whilst many of these are very easy to measure, for example, intra-set rest times may be 1 minute and the athlete may be given a training frequency of three sessions per week, other variables such as intensity are not so simple to calculate.

This is where a VBT Device like the Vitruve Encoder comes in, it can accurately measure the Peak Velocity or The Mean Velocity of various barbell lifts.
