PlateMate vs AMTI

A study by the University of Belgrade has compared PlateMate to gold-standard AMTI force plates in Spring 2025. The article — "Laboratory-Grade Accuracy on a Budget: Concurrent Validity of CC Athletics Portable Force Plates for Vertical Jump Analysis" — has just been submitted. The preprint is available here.

PlateMate vs Bertec/Hawkin: Raw Signal Comparison

Internal test (CC Athletics office). Validation against Bertec ForcePlate (Hawkin Dynamic processing). This blog post compares raw force-plate signals from CC Athletics PlateMate (960 Hz) and a Bertec force plate processed by Hawkin Dynamic software (1000 Hz)…
