You're tracking what. Are you tracking how? 📊

High performance sport is often defined by the smallest of margins. That's exactly why Velocity-Based Training (VBT) is becoming a standard in high-performance programs worldwide.

“The main benefit of velocity-based training is that it allows intensity and volume to be auto-regulated based on objective, sensitive measures or performance,” Bas Van Hooren, Assistant Professor at Maastricht University and elite athlete.

Using smart camera-based tracking, VBT goes beyond just logging the weight on the bar. It provides real-time insights into how an athlete moves that load. By highlighting the load-velocity profile, we can answer the critical question: are we training at the right intensity for the desired outcome?
From optimizing power to mitigating fatigue, objective data bridges the gap between the program and the performance.

Precision coaching isn't about watching every single rep. It's about seeing the data behind them.📈

When you can analyze movement patterns instantaneously, you unlock a new level of individual development for every athlete on your roster.

Discover how the team at UNC uses objective data to support their athletes.

Intent 🏋️‍♀️ 

It's the difference between just moving weight and truly owning the movement. When you create a feedback loop that athletes can see and feel, you build a culture of purpose in the weight room.

As Cory Walts, Director of Strength and Conditioning at Upenn, shares: "Penn is the intersection of peak performance and peak academic stressors... Perch provides a data-driven solution that speaks to who our athletes are on a given day." 

Discover how the team at UPenn is using objective data to drive engagement and performance.

The difference between a great session and a bad one is often invisible. 👁️

Athlete performance can fluctuate by up to 18% daily, but most coaches only spot a 1–3% change. That’s where Velocity Based Training (VBT) fills the gap.

By using velocity as a proxy for neuromuscular stress, you can:
✅ Adjust loads in real-time.
✅ Avoid unnecessary fatigue.
✅ Drive intent.

Stop guessing. Start measuring. 📊

Not all muscle fibers are created equal - and your training shouldn’t be either. Whether you’re training for endurance, explosiveness, or a mix of both, understanding how to target specific fibers is key to maximizing performance. 

Here’s the breakdown: 
• Type I – slow-twitch, built for endurance 
• Type IIa – fast-twitch, strength + endurance hybrid 
• Type IIx – fast-twitch, built for peak power & speed 

With velocity-based training (VBT), you can track rep speed and power output to activate the right fibers for your sport and position. 

It’s a smarter, data-driven way to train—especially when recovery, fatigue, and injury prevention matter most. Want to personalize your strength training for better results?
