How can you test the explosive power?

There are several ways to test the explosive force. You can check this with light barriers and special cameras. However, the cameras have to take up to 500 images per second in order to measure the finest differences.

Sports motor tests are another effective way to determine the explosive strength of people. However, not all tests are equally suitable and one must first determine the correct tests for explosive strength. In addition, explosive strength can be tested and measured using so-called force-time curves.

Force-time curves are particularly suitable for testing the starting and explosive force behavior, as well as for determining the jump-off speed. The high-speed force index (Fmax/Tmax) is generated in the force-time curve. It is shown after which time the maximum force value was reached.

What is the relationship between explosive power and maximum force?

High-speed force is composed of four different force parameters. These include the starting force, the explosive force, the reactive force and the maximum force. Above all, the maximum force ensures the force level at which the fastest possible movement can take place.

The maximum force is thus the direct basis for the development of the explosive force and is directly related to the explosive force. In addition, the ability to contract quickly is necessary to achieve high elasticity.
