GET STARTED HOW IT WORKS

Simple and flexible to use

Getting started with VBT can be daunting for some users. We make it simple with pre-defined velocity zones. Just select the training effect you would like to elicit, select your weight, and go. You can get more information on this feature on our knowledge base.
‍

Set custom velocity zones and drop-off targets

More advanced users can easily customize settings.
‍

Choose desired real-time metric (mean / peak velocity)

‍Set min/max velocity targets for athletes to see as they train

Real-time target zone feedback to guide athletes as they train

Manage training load and fatigue with velocity drop-off from either first or last rep

Configure velocity drop-off by desired percentage

What our customers have to say

"Output Sports provides our velocity-based training solution. Both their app and cloud platforms are incredibly user-friendly, promoting department-wide implementation and daily use in our weight rooms.“

Stephen Englehart

M.S, CSCS, Director of Strength and Conditioning, University of Colorado

"Output is my Velocity Based Training tool of choice. With load-velocity profiles being automatically generated from the data that you capture, it's superb for coaches who are time poor. It’s simple, easy to use - plug and play in 60 seconds!”

Chris Tombs

VBT & Performance Specialist

“This year we've had a big focus on velocity-based training and the Output sports units have allowed us to do that. It makes every rep accountable. So we're finding that players just aren't plodding through sessions, they're attacking every rep."

Ian Bentley

Head of Performance at Wigan Warriors
