Overall Efficiency Grade: 53.00

Mobility, Flexibility & Stability Screening

Miguel is a “tight” mover. He has 35 degrees of rotation to the right and 40 degrees to the left. His scapular retraction is “tight.” He has 3 inches of retraction in both scaps. He is “neutral” in internal hip rotation and “neutral” in external hip rotation.   Core stability is excellent, which will factor into his energy transfer.

Force Plate Jumps

Miguel has a moderate right leg imbalance that will need to be addressed with strength and conditioning. He favors his right leg by 10% which is in a “watch” stage. Counter movement jumps were nearly equal to squat-pause jumps. CMJ had a lift off force at 275% BW while SJ were 265% BW. This gives him some flexibility in choosing a loading style.

Force Plate Swings

Below is video of the swing analysis. I will walk you through this matched up with video.

Miguel loads into the ball of his foot and creates outstanding back leg loading force at 100% BW. He doesn’t create tremendous speed from any vector currently. Front leg force is 167% BW on the vertical axis.

Back leg torque numbers are right at the 45 Nm that we are looking for. Leg to leg transfer rates are very good – shown by his x-axis timing numbers. This will give him needed adjustability since his turn speeds are average. His horizontal and torque forces are both average. He creates 100 Nm of torque force. Through his 3d data, we can get some more speed out of him until he gets stronger.

KVEST Sequencing & Rotational Speeds

The 3d readings are on kinematic sequencing and rotational speeds.

Miguel has a typical pattern of those that get too much inward torso rotation in the load. He creates 37 degrees of inward torso rotation, which is extremely high. This causes his upper body to have to start early because it simply has farther to rotate to get to the ball. Hip speeds are “fair” on the “Real Speed” scale at 700 deg/sec. Torso values don’t gain much as the core isn’t stretched very tight. Torso speeds are “good,” at 900 deg/sec and can be improved tightening the core with a bigger scap load. Lead arm values get little climb and reach 1100 deg/sec. Wrist values are low at 1800 deg/sec.

Summary & Recommendations

• Miguel can get higher turn speeds by creating a better scap load to tighten his turn.

• Use the front leg with a more forceful interaction with the ground with his font heel.
