YOUR BEST IN-SEASON SECRET WEAPON

Know your athletes’ true strength capacity — before warm-up. 

Prime for peak performance.

Every session.

Why “Priming” is the Missing Piece in Your Sessions.

Because very session begins with one question: Is the athlete ready?

  • Adequately recovered? Fatigue hides well but shows up in force long before it becomes visible in movement. Be a step ahead!

  • Ready to perform & to what capacity? Easily reveal daily maximum strength capacity (1RM) — before the first lift, jump, or sprint.

  • Should you push, maintain, or deload today? Keep workload personalised. Objective evidence beats guesswork every time, especially during the season, when sharpness matters most.

Know it all in just seconds and unlock a whole new level of game strategy.

Science-Backed. Coach-Proven.

Tendo Force’s Priming Protocol is build on validated isometric principles, long used in high performance settings.

  • Hypersensitive to both CNS and peripheral fatigue.

  • Reliability of the test can exceed ICC 0.95.

  • Strongly correlates with dynamic exercises and real-life practice (eg. 1RM at r ≈ 0.9)

  • No technique bias. No injury risks. Clean data, daily.

Tendo Force further refines this into a practical in-the-field testing that is:

  • Safest — no external load, no complex techniques, no risky movements.

  • Fastest — just seconds to test, no warm-up or learning curve required.

  • Easiest — simple standardised setup every time. No expertise required.

And the Results?

  • Motivation — boosted.

Athletes get the endorphin surge and mental edge of proving their strength before training even starts. Pumped, focused, ready.

  • Confidence — secured.

Both coach and athlete know exactly what’s in the “strength tank” today. 

No overload, no guesswork. Just safe, clear limits for peak performance.

  • Performance — protected.

No surprises, no hidden fatigue, no unnecessary overloading.

Why Priming and not just Velocity Based Training (VBT)?

VBT is one of the most powerful ways to guide in-season training performance.

But testing is trickier. It requires both the athlete’s and coach’s expertise and only gives you feedback once the bar is loaded and the athlete is already moving.

That’s often too late to detect fatigue safely.

Testing only with VBT creates two risks:

  • Fatigue or hidden weaknesses might only be uncovered after training begins.

  • Athletes may already be tired or even exposed to injury before you realize something’s wrong.

Priming fills that gap.

It’s the quick, no-load readiness check that shows you exactly how prepared an athlete is before the session even begin.

Together, Priming and VBT form the gold-standard workflow:

  • Step 1Priming (e.g. Tendo Force)  to detect readiness and daily strength capacity (1RM) instantly.

  • Step 2 VBT (e.g. Tendo Unit)  to adjust training intensity to match that readiness and your training goal for the day.

Together, they give you the ultimate in-season strategy — safer, smarter, and sharper than VBT alone.
