Is HHD valid for measuring rate of force development (speed of force application) as well as peak force?

Question

Accepted Answer

Rate of force development (RFD) is an inherently variable index and no matter the device or laboratory set-up, it is imperative to have a stable measurement environment and a familiarised participant. Producing explosive muscle contractions can require a bit of training for some. Then you need to consider the device - does it have a high enough sampling (SF) frequency to give you accurate data? Here you’re looking for a minimum SF of 500Hz (See question below: What is the best sampling frequency?)
