Background Monitoring resistance training has a range of unique difficulties due to
differences in physical characteristics and capacity between athletes, and the indoor
environment in which it often occurs. Traditionally, methods such as volume load have been
used, but these have inherent flaws. In recent times, numerous portable and affordable
devices have been made available that purport to accurately and reliably measure kinetic
and kinematic outputs, potentially offering practitioners a means of measuring resistance …
