Athletic training and performance is a constantly evolving practice, and data-driven decision-making has become a popular way for driving success—it’s something that’s really changed the game in my coaching career.
The Enode Pro sensor has been one of my favorite tools for this—specifically velocity-based training—transforming the way not just I, but coaches, trainers, and athletes approach training through data-driven choices.
Today, we’ll check out everything you need to know about it, including its features, who it’s for, what’s included in the box, and more!
What is the Enode Sensor?
The Enode sensor is a wonderful little device designed to provide detailed metrics on quite a few different aspects of training.
It easily attaches to a barbell, dumbbell, and even a kettlebell, making it easy to get real-time data on performance metrics with nearly all training styles.
I personally liked it the most on a barbell, as I found it didn’t get in the way or bothered me even if I had it right by my back during squats.
Enode Pro Features
The Enode Pro is packed with features that make it a staple in my athletic training toolbox.
Here are some of my favorite features:
- Real-Time Data: The sensor provides immediate feedback, letting you make on-the-spot adjustments.
- High Precision: The data you receive is accurate, scientific-based, detailed, and reliable.
- Easy to Use: The sensor attaches to any barbell and syncs with your mobile device for data tracking. You can also attach it to a kettlebell or dumbbell, although this can be trickier depending on what exercise you’re doing.
- Durable and Portable: Its lightweight design and durability gives you peace-of-mind when training hard.
What Does The Enode Sensor Track?
A better question would be: what doesn’t the Enode sensor track?
I’m usually left wanting more out of data devices like this, but not this time.
It gives you a wide range of metrics that will make training more optimized—and most importantly: effective.
Let’s take a closer look at what it tracks:
- Average Velocity: This is the average speed at which the lift is performed over the distance covered. Monitoring average velocity helps to understand the consistency and efficiency of the lift.
- Peak Velocity: Peak velocity measures the highest speed attained during the lift. This is important in assessing explosive power and speed.
- Power Output: Power output indicates the amount of power generated during the lift. This is great for evaluating overall performance and strength.
- Distance: Distance measures how far the sensor travels during the lift. This can help analyze the range of motion and make sure you’re using proper technique.
- Movement Duration: This measures the total time taken to complete the lift. It’s useful for assessing the speed and efficiency of the movement.
- Duration Between Reps: The time elapsed between two consecutive lifts.
- Point of Maximum Velocity: This shows the exact point during the lift where maximum velocity is achieved.
- Point of Maximum Acceleration: This indicates the point at which the highest acceleration happens, helping to analyze the explosive power of the lift.
- Muscle Performance Threshold: Indicates the point of maximum mechanical muscle power, great for understanding muscle performance.
- 1 Repetition Maximum: Also known as 1RM, this measures the maximum weight that can be moved in one exercise with one rep, which acts as a benchmark for strength levels.
What’s Included with Enode?
Buying the Endode sensor from SimpliFaster gives you the complete package with everything you need for training:
- 1 x Enode Sensor
- 1 x Enode Sensor Transport Case
- 1 x Enode Barbell Strap
- 1 x Micro USB Charging Cable
What Type of Training Is The Enode Pro For?
The Enode Pro is super versatile, being especially great for velocity-based training, as the data you get from it is easily plugged into VBT charts.
It’s also perfect for developing different types of strength and training for performance goals like:
- Strength Training: Use the metrics from the Enode Pro for more accurate loading than percentage-based lifts.
- Explosive Power Training: Monitor metrics like peak velocity and power output to develop explosive movements.
- Rehabilitation/Injury Prevention: Track progress and identify fatigue levels and readiness to train.
- Sport-Specific Training: Use the data to match the VBT zone you want to train that is most specific to your sport.
