I was thinking to implement some kind of monitoring of immediate training effects next season in volleyball, mostly used to manage microcycle training load to the athlete response, avoid over-training, manage over-reaching if needed and see how much athlete’s capacity is stressed.
What I had on my mind is to do following testing 1-2/wk.
-
Grips strength - used to monitor excitability of the CNS, strength potential, CNS strain(?)
-
Vertical Jump - used to monitor explosive excitability
-
Simple reaction time - To measure eye-hand speed, perceptual fatigue, blah, blah. Averga time plus standard deviation. Can you suggest some machine for this… cheap and simple?
I would plot this against training loads, check the cummulative training effects (via normal testing, like 10m sprint, jump, yoyo) and hopefully make some input-output relationship.
I don’t have OmegaWave, but I was thinking to use this battery for simmilar reason.
