Overall Efficiency Grade: 39.5

Mobility, Flexibility & Stability Screening

Edmond is a “neutral” mover. He has 45 degrees of rotation to the right and 50 degrees to the left. His scapular retraction is “neutral.” He has 4 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

Edmond is balanced leg to leg. Counter movement jumps were nearly equal to squat-pause jumps. CMJ had a lift off force at 304% BW while SJ were 300% 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.

Edmond loads into his whole foot but creates a slightly low back leg loading force at 94% BW. He doesn’t create tremendous speed from any vector which I think is more of a byproduct of lack of strength currently. Front leg force is 175% BW on the vertical axis.

Back leg torque numbers are low at 28 Nm. Leg to leg transfer rates are very good – shown by his x-axis timing numbers. This will give him needed adjustability since he doesn’t turn very fast. His horizontal and torque forces are both average. He creates 90 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.

Edmond is in sequence, but he can build more speed through a more effective scap load. 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 925 deg/sec and can be improved tightening the core with a bigger scap load. Lead arm values get little climb and reach 1000 deg/sec. Wrist values are good at 2000 deg/sec.

Summary & Recommendations

• Besides just strength, Edmond can gain speed by tightening up his turn. He can stretch the torso more through a better scap load. His path to the ball is excellent, so getting speeds gains will help his production.

• Create more counter-rotation in his hips during the load for better torque force and speed.
