In sports is very important when you work with loads, how to know the velocity in m/s. Nowadays Flywheel and conic-pulley are use in many sports
I know encoder Smartcoach but isn´t m/s
With a flywheel or conical pulley, I think it only make sense to measure angular velocity, not linear velocity. I guess it sort of depends on what you are trying to calculate with that velocity measure.
The F-V curve is now widely used. Nowadays coach and fitness use concentric power or eccentric. Also too peak. I think would be a great help
I think it is possible with a rotatory encoder. An option is using Exentrix (from Smartcoach), which measures velocity and power in isoinertial exercises. I´m sure there are cheaper rotatory encoders on the market.
You´re right. This encoder is validate to measure isoinertial exercises, not validate velocity m/s. I have doubts
The software of SmartCoach provides data of both mean and peak velocity (in laps / second).If you want data in m/s you can measure the diameter of the axis and calculate the values (it is only an idea). You can also try to standardize and measure the range of motion and calculate the velocity through the displacement and time of each repetition (provided by SmartCoach).
