Force,
measured.

Hawkin Dynamics force plates read the ground 1,000 times a second. Jump on them and within seconds you see how much force you make, how fast you make it, and whether one leg is doing more than the other. The same plates trusted across the major US professional leagues, made by a team that works out of our building.

The test lab

More thana jump.

The plates run nine kinds of test, from explosive jumps to all-out pulls against a bar that does not move. Pick one to see what it measures and how we use it.

Countermovement jump

What it is

A dip and an all-out jump. The most used test on force plates, because it is quick to learn and tells you so much.

Why it matters

It reflects overall athletic capacity: how much force you make, how fast, and how evenly between legs.

How we coach it

We track it across a block to see whether training is turning into explosiveness, not just bigger lifts.

How we coach it

Data you
can feel.

A number on a report changes nothing on its own. These are the ways the plates change what happens on the floor.

  1. 01
    Live feedback, mid-repIn free-run mode the plates show your force as you make it. Push harder, land softer, load both legs evenly, and see it happen in real time.
  2. 02
    Ready or notA few jumps or a drop landing before training show how fresh you really are, so the session can push or pull back to match.
  3. 03
    Like for like, over timeEvery test is tagged and tracked on its own, so today is only ever compared with the same test done the same way.
  4. 04
    Back from injuryThe injured side can be measured against the good one, in jumps, landings and strength, so the call to return can rest on numbers, not a feeling.
  5. 05
    TeamsA whole squad can be tested in minutes, with every player tracked across the season.

The kit

The Hawkinrange.

Plates for the whole body moving. A dynamometer for one muscle at a time. One app that keeps it all together.

Flagship

Dual wireless force plates

Two plates, one under each foot. The full Hawkin system, validated against laboratory plates.

  • Left and right measured separately
  • Wireless, set up anywhere in minutes
  • 1,000 readings a second
  • Live feedback in free-run mode

Strength

TruStrength dynamometer

A fist-sized force sensor that fixes to a rack or bench, so the reading does not depend on the tester holding steady.

  • Measures pushing and pulling, from 1 N to 10,000 N
  • Groin squeeze, hip, knee, calf and shoulder tests
  • 1,200 readings a second
  • Two units together give left and right from one rep
Developed with Professor John Cronin of AUT.

Software

Hawkin Capture and Cloud

The app runs every test and shows results straight away. Everything syncs to the cloud, so each athlete builds a history over time.

  • Nine test types, each with its own tags
  • Results the moment you land
  • Every session saved and comparable

The people behind it

Better coaches,
not just better kit.

The best technology is only as good as the person reading it. Having the team that builds these plates under the same roof means our coaches learn from them first-hand.

Trained on the techOur coaches know what the numbers mean and, just as important, what they do not.
Learning from the sourceQuestions go straight to the people who design the plates and the software, a few steps away.
Always developingOngoing professional development keeps our coaching current with the science. Hawkin publish playbooks for every test, a metric database and courses, and our coaches learn from them.
