Using force platforms (also called force plates) is becoming more and more popular, mainly because the technology is getting cheaper and more portable. What can we measure in Olympic weightlifting using force platforms? What has already been tested for reliability and association with the actual weightlifting performance? Dr. Shaun Joffe explains everything you need to know in this interview.

Shaun is a lecturer in strength and conditioning science at St. Mary's University (Twickenham, UK). He has worked for British Weightlifting as a strength coach, performance scientist, and weightlifting talent coach. His research in Olympic weightlifting focuses on measuring and predicting performance.
