Introduction and Overview

  • Nika from Perch introduces a detailed walkthrough of Perch’s product suite.
  • The goal is to maximize athletic performance through integrated weight room technology.
  • The suite comprises three main components:
    • Perch Plan: A programming and training plan tool.
    • Perch Evaluate: A jump testing and performance readiness tool.
    • Perch Train: A core velocity-based training and weight room load management tool.

Perch Plan (Programming Tool)

  • Coaches can create and customize training programs, workouts, and exercises.
  • Allows filtering by teams or individual athletes and managing templates.
  • Dynamic programming options include:
    • Assigning workouts based on one-rep max values.
    • Dynamic goals tailored to an athlete’s load-velocity profile.
    • Progression tracking for metrics like reps, sets, and goals.
  • Programs can include supersets and accessory movements.
  • Coaches can assign workouts to athletes for use in the weight room or remotely.

Perch Evaluate (Jump Testing & Readiness)

  • Directly assesses athlete readiness using jump tests at the weight rack.
  • Tracks metrics like jump height, RSI mod, and take-off velocity.
  • Generates readiness reports based on rolling 30-day averages.
  • Provides a status indicator (red, yellow, green) to highlight athlete performance trends.
  • Data insights help coaches adjust training loads to optimize recovery and performance.

Perch Train (Velocity-Based Training)

  • Core functionality revolves around tracking movement, depth, displacement, and velocity.
  • The unobtrusive camera system connects to a tablet for live feedback.
  • Real-time data includes various performance metrics:
    • Mean and peak velocity, eccentric time, power, and total work.
    • Bar path and movement path visualization.
  • The load-velocity profile dynamically informs optimal training loads.
  • Supports diverse movement tracking, from barbell lifts to bodyweight exercises.

System Integration and Data Management

  • Perch's unified platform centralizes programming, performance monitoring, and data insights.
  • Devices and presets can be calibrated and synchronized across multiple weight room stations.

  • Coaches can monitor progress and compare current performance against past data in real-time.
  • Audio-visual cues provide immediate feedback during training sessions.

Leaderboards and Compliance Tracking

  • Live leaderboards foster healthy competition among athletes.
  • The leaderboard updates every 30 seconds and can be displayed on weight room screens.
  • Compliance reports provide detailed progress insights, tracking completed sets, reps, and tonnage.

Device and Camera Management

  • The camera system allows 140-degree motorized rotation to track various exercises.
  • Preset camera angles ensure consistent tracking for each movement.
  • Calibration is required during initial setup but can be applied across multiple devices.

Additional Capabilities

  • The export feature offers robust data manipulation and reporting.
