Output Sports CEO and Co-Founder Martin O’Reilly and Head of Product Ian Murray explain the thinking behind Output Program and the problem it solves for coaches.

Output Program is all-in-one strength and conditioning software that helps coaches build programs, deliver training and track athlete performance at scale.

It connects programming, testing, monitoring and VBT in one workflow, so coaches can see the full picture and make decisions with confidence.

🎥 Watch the full webinar replay: Maximising the Value of VBT.

Our CEO and co-founder, Martin O’Reilly, joined Dan Howells to explore how coaches can apply velocity based training in practice, covering load velocity profiling, autoregulation, velocity drop off and readiness monitoring.

The key takeaway: start with a clear coaching question, fit VBT into your existing training flow and build from there.

What are the best predictors of tennis serve velocity? 🎾

New research involving NCAA Division I tennis players found that countermovement jump (CMJ) height and medicine ball rotational scoop throw peak velocity produced the strongest and most consistent signals for faster serves. In contrast, adding trunk range of motion did not improve the predictive model.

These findings support the role of whole-body power in serve performance. Serve velocity is not determined by the hitting arm in isolation. It relies on the athlete’s ability to generate force through the lower body and transfer it efficiently through the trunk and upper body into the racket.

For practitioners, CMJs and rotational medicine ball throws may therefore provide useful field-based assessments of the physical qualities associated with serve performance.

The physical performance data in this study was captured using the Output Sports V2 IMU sensor, highlighting its ability to assess multiple qualities relevant to tennis performance.
