Power training for longevity? Power training is newly recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (link in comments) to optimise healthspan. But explosive movements don’t come without risk. In power training, fatigue can catch you by surprise, increasing risk of injury. So how can we make power training both more effective, as well as safer, for everyone? Here are 3 REMAKER features that can do just that: 1. Readiness testing 🚦 . With a simple test like 3 x CMJ/ 3x drop jump, REMAKER can advise how ‘ready’ you are to train that day. It relates your score to your benchmark, if you’re already fatigued before a session this will flag up and will suggest taking it easier. 2. 1 Rep Max Predictor 🎯 . REMAKER can predict your 1RM without ever lifting a true maximum load, reducing the risks associated with maximal strength testing. This is calculated using a velocity profile at lower loads and can help you judge what resistance to use for power training. The ACSM suggests power training is conducted using moderate loads (30–70% 1RM) and moving the weight as quickly as possible during the concentric phase. 3. Mid-Set Fatigue Identification ⛓️💥. With REMAKER you can set a predetermined velocity drop-off when training in the power zone. When velocity drops by 10%, the repetition flags up red — indicating fatigue, and the right time to stop, helping to mitigate injury risk.
