Technical Details
- Variable Type: Discrete Metric
- Data Type: Float
- Units: m/s
- Column Name: (varies by jump type)
- Calculation: Average center of mass velocity (e.g., vertical) from initiation to bottom
Description
Eccentric velocity is the average velocity of the center of mass during the downward (eccentric) phase of the jump, from initiation to bottom. It reflects how quickly the athlete loads before the concentric push.Use Cases
- Countermovement depth and speed
- Stretch-shortening cycle assessment
- Consistency of loading phase
