This allows coaches using Proteus to analyze patterns in search of the lowest hanging fruit to address in training.

Normally, it would have been a longer training period and sample size, but COVID-related restrictions thinned the herd a bit and led to a shortened timeline. The CSP-MA college summer program consisted of 14 collegiate pitchers tested 3 times over a 6 week period (beginning, middle, and end). The data is tracked for each player over time, and can also be printed, shared by email, or accessed remotely through a web login.īefore we dive in, it will be helpful to know a little bit about the Power Test listed in the video below as well as the structure of our small study and what we intended to capture.

The Power Test report shown above is an output shown on the Proteus system’s touchscreen after 17 exercises are performed in under 5 minutes. Today, we’ll reviewr the results of our power testing on athletes and discoveries that may have an impact when creating and enhancing individualized training programs for our athletes. Following Proteus Motion’s release of the General Power Test in June of this year, we decided to apply this testing to CSP-MA and their college summer program in hopes of finding out what role power plays in a collection of athletic qualities. Back in January, Cressey Sports Performance – FL began looking into Proteus as a potential way to bridge the gap between training programs and objective measures (see the article Taking Proteus for a Spin). In an analytically driven world, finding a way to capture coveted and seemingly intangible qualities of athletes is highly sought after. Today’s guest post comes from physical therapists Will Waterman and Tanner Allen.
