Study Aim:
The goal of this study is to evaluate practices and perceptions in the sports science industry regarding strength and power testing using flywheel resistance technology (FRT).
You are invited to participate in this research because you have used flywheel resistance technology as a training method with clients, athletes, or yourself, and have completed at least one test session with this technology. Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time. If you decide to withdraw consent after completing the survey, please get in touch with the primary researcher at the email provided below. The survey should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. You will be asked to answer a series of questions about flywheel testing and your perceptions of it.
There are no known risks associated with participating in this study, and your data will remain confidential. The study has received full ethical approval from THEi Human Subjects Ethics Committee.
Flywheel testing refers to measuring performance metrics with flywheel resistance technology (e.g., assessing power output during a flywheel squat exercise). Data collected may include concentric and eccentric peak power, average power, force, velocity, and other relevant metrics. In this survey, testing and monitoring during training will also be referred to as “flywheel testing.”
