THE PROBLEM

Why great programs still miss the mark.

Even well-designed training sessions don’t always deliver the intended outcome, not because the program is flawed, but because the athlete’s neuromuscular system isn’t ready to execute it.

Fatigue, incomplete recovery, or CNS strain can reduce force output by 15-25% without obvious warning signs. By the time performance visibly drops, the session has already been affected.

Most monitoring systems tell you what has already happened.

Priming helps you understand what is available today — before the first loaded rep.

What Priming is (and isn’t).

Priming is a pre-session readiness assessment designed to provide an objective snapshot of current force-production capacity.

Priming is:

  • Quick to implement

  • Zero-load and non-fatiguing

  • Objective and repeatable

  • Practical for real training environments

  • Easy to run daily, even in-season

Priming isn’t:

  • A warm-up

  • A guess based on subjective feel

  • A replacement for coaching judgement

Priming doesn’t remove the coach from the process.

It supports better decisions by adding clarity where uncertainty often exists.

HOW PRIMING WORKS

Three steps. A clearer training day.

  • 1. Measure

A short isometric contraction provides an immediate snapshot of available strength capacity.

  • 2. Compare

Today’s result is viewed against the athlete’s own baseline — here meaningful changes become visible.

  • 3. Decide

Guided decision bands help coaches adjust the session confidently:

                  »  Continue as planned

                  »  Modify load or volume

                  »  Prioritise recovery or technical work

WHY TENDO FORCE

Why Priming requires more than “just a sensor”.

Priming relies on precision and repeatability. 

Small setup inconsistencies can easily distort readiness signals.

For meaningful daily use:

  • Force should be measured at consistent joint positions

  • Reliability matters more than isolated peak numbers

  • Testing needs to be fast, robust, and easy to repeat

Tendo Force was developed to support this type of field-ready Priming workflow, including demanding in-season periods.
