✅ Conclusion: We haven’t earned the right to monitor fatigue. 😵‍💫 Force plate data is everywhere - but definitions, calculations, and phase terms vary wildly. 🗣️ Without standardisation, we’re not tracking fatigue; we’re tracking noise. ⬇️ To move forward, research must: 1️⃣

📜Really useful paper ⬇️ When technology can provide 400+ metrics, it's so important to be able to filter & know which ones to look at. Understanding which ones are reliable in is an important starting point, particularly if you can do this in your own population / cohort!
