Athlete Flags - automatic daily athlete classification
Imagine you could open an email or a web page every morning and find a list of your athletes sorted into groups indicating which athletes have: - slept poorly for multiple nights
- increasing hamstring soreness or stiffness
- poor motivation
- not eaten well
- lower power test results
- symptoms of illness
In addition to this, the physio has been emailed about the sore athletes and the doctor about the illness. 
This is made possible by simple daily athlete monitoring. Data entered by your athletes every day is automatically analysed to trigger predefined flags. You don't need to do any extra work with spreadsheets and paper records, it's done automatically for all your athletes.
This monitoring and flagging service is part of Kinetic-Athlete. With it, you will receive access to internet based tools set up by us to suit your needs, ongoing support and enhancements based on your requests, and most importantly, you will be able to achieve much more in less time by having your athletes classified daily, based on their current state. |

 The AIS Altitude Facility engineered by the Kinetic Team has recieved a Highly Commended Award from Engineers Australia. The award programs seek to identify, recognise and reward outstanding achievement, eminence in the practice of engineering, and conspicuous service to the profession. The Kinetic Altitude project was competing against entries such as the Foreshore Harbor Civil Works and the Cotter Dam enlargement.
Director Rob Shugg comment on the awards
"We are very pleased to receive this recognition from Engineers Australia. The project itself was very challenging and required real committment from all of our team. As a small company it is great to feel our achievements are recognised at such a high level."

Analyse forceplate data with Kinetic software
For coaches who are frustrated with the limited software analysis capabilities of forceplates and other measurement systems, Kinetic have developed a powerful import tool which enables third party data sets to be imported and analysed in the same way that GymAware data is.
GymAware's portability, ease of use, the non requirement for constant calibration added together with the exceedingly low cost when compared to a force plate is why GymAware wins hands down when compared to its competitors.
The graph above clearly shows that for power and force measurements, the GymAware results directly overlay with results from a force plate.
This demonstrates a key strength of the GymAware system, its "accuracy"- especially when it comes to practical application.
GymAware also integrates into Kinetic-Athlete to which further cements GymAware as the #1 choice in power and force measurement in the weights gym.
Kinetic-Athlete is the sophisticated software solution for coaches to store and analyse their perceptive and performance data and combined with GymAware, a powerful athlete management tool. |

Reliability Study Published
Naruhiro "Geish" Hori and Warren Andrews from WAIS has recently published a paper on the reliability of countermovement jump. The paper is titled "RELIABILITY OF VELOCITY, FORCE AND POWER OBTAINED FROM THE GYMAWARE OPTICAL ENCODER DURING COUNTERMOVEMENT JUMP WITH AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL LOADS." It can be read by logging in online at the Journal of Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (JASCA)
Abstract:
"The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of peak velocity, force and power obtained from a GymAware optical encoder (Kinetics, Canberra, ACT) during the countermovement jump (CMJ) under three different external load conditions: wooden pole (0.7 kg), weightlifting bar (20 kg) and Smith machine bar (24.5 kg)."

Power profile your athletes with GymAware
Power profile your athletes - determine the lift weight where your athletes generate the highest power.
The Power at Weight report shows the different power outputs that can be achieved at different lift weights. You can use this information to determine which weights produce the highest power output (OPTIMAX) for each athlete. See below
In this example, the results reported are averages for each set i.e concentric peak power and concentric mean power. The report summarises the results from two different sessions that are approximately two months apart. Although the OPTIMAX has not changed, there is a clear improvement in power over the whole weight range.
How to create a Power At Weight report.
In the Gym:
Attach the GymAware system and collect data in the usual manner – in this case it is the bench press
Increase the weight on the bar per set
In the Office (www connection needed): Upload data via GymSync
Log into GymAware via www.kinetic.com.au
• Select data set
• Select “Generate Report”
• Select Report type and generate
• Save as pdf |

Import existing SRM an Xcel files
With the powerful import tools available within the software, coaches are able to import existing data from many database packages. The team at Kinetic will work closely with individual organisations, tailoring the import features to suit their requirements. Cycling coaches and athletes can now upload and categorise SRM power meter files to Kinetic-Athlete. |
