External validation for Metric v4.5!!! 🎉

So how does Metric stack up against an LPT hardware device? This new validation study says the answer is: Really well!

This study by compared the Metric VBT app with Vitruve, another velocity tracking tool that uses a string attached to the bar to measure bar speed.

The study looked at 150 repetitions of Bench press across a range of loads and speeds to see how the two technologies compared for reliability and validity.

Metric stacked up really well, with strong correlations to the hardware solution.

Mean Velocity: r = 0.93
Peak Velocity: r = 0.91
Range of motion: r = 0.75

*It’s worth noting that Metric applies an X axis correction when measuring barbell motion and velocity (like Gymaware and RepOne do), while Vitruve does not. Given the curved bar path that bench press has this difference in approach to the tracking algorithm likely accounts for the difference seen in range of motion between the technologies.

The author concluded:

“Ultimately, the mobile application satisfies a high level of reliability for individual repetitions and acceptable variability of results, making it metrically justified and safe to use.”

It’s great to see how far Metric has come since the last validation studies done way back in 2022 with the Metric beta.

This study shows that (free) computer vision apps can be just as valid and reliable as expensive hardware devices for getting professional-grade velocity data to use for your training and programming!

Just in time for the holidays we’ve hit an incredible milestone! 🥳

Over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND sets have now been recorded and analysed by Metric. What a gift - thanks to all our awesome lifters 🎁🎄

With the app launching in April, we have made incredible strides to make velocity tracking more accessible and practical for lifters and coaches around the world.
Some big capability improvements have been added recently, with ballistic lift tracking and contextual feedback arriving with the v1.1 release last month, plus snatches launching this week.

There is still so much phenomenal and powerful capability we plan to introduce, so look out for heaps of great additions to the Metric training app in 2023.

If you are a coach or personal trainer, join the waitlist for our web dashboard coming early next year, (click the link in our bio).

Have a safe and fun filled holiday season!

Metric VBT is now available in the App Store for iOS 🎉

Metric uses your iPhone camera to automatically measure barbell velocity. Lifters and coaches can easily optimise their training with Metric using precise in-session Velocity, ROM, and Fatigue data.

Using Metric you no longer need expensive and complicated hardware devices to apply velocity based training!

We are thrilled that Metric is now out of beta and available to all. We think Metric is a revolution for lifters, coaches and athletes who want to take their training to the next level. With real time elite-level feedback you can train smarter and harder than ever.

Download now in the App Store for iPhone (link in our bio or search “Metric VBT”).
