The Explosive Belt — the sensor in its case on the waist belt
What it measures

Three things,
measured.

Plain numbers from a belt on the waist or the sensor strapped to the bar. Jump height comes from flight time, checked against slow-motion camera. Nothing is estimated from a formula you cannot see.

On the waist
Jump
  • Jump height
  • Takeoff direction — standing, lateral or approach
  • Explosiveness — how fast you leave the ground
  • Dip depth
  • Force through the push-off
On the bar
Velocity
  • Peak and mean bar velocity
  • Range of motion
  • Time to peak velocity
  • Velocity loss across the set
  • Every rep compared with your last session
Practice and matches
In-game
  • Records every jump in a match on its own — no phone needed
  • Height and takeoff direction for each one
  • Keeps the last 64 jumps on board
  • One-tap import when you connect
  • Jump count for the whole game
How it works

Five steps to the
first number.

01
Charge

Charge it over USB-C. 20+ hours of use on one charge.

02
Get the app

Explosive Athlete is free on the App Store and Google Play. No subscription; an account only if you want cloud sync.

03
Wear it

The belt on the waist for jumps, or the sensor strapped to the bar for lifts.

04
Connect

Switch it on and it appears in the app over Bluetooth. No hub, no Wi-Fi.

05
Jump or lift

Stand still, then jump or lift. The number is on the screen as you land. In a match, leave the phone in the bag — the belt records on its own.

On the sensor

Every control, and what it does.

The Explosive Belt sensor from above: the status light in the lid, the power switch on one edge, the USB-C port, and a 26 mm strap slot on each side.

USB-C

Any phone charger. 20+ hours of use on one charge.

Status lights

It blinks while it waits, holds steady once the app is connected, and blinks twice when there are jumps stored on the belt.

Power switch

One slide, on. One slide, off.

Strap slots

26 mm, one on each side. The elastic belt threads through for jumps; the same slots take the strap on a barbell.

The numbers,
where you train.

Free on the App Store and Google Play, no subscription. It works with the belt, and it works as a training record without it.

Jump height from flight time

Height, flight time and takeoff velocity from every jump, validated against slow-motion camera. Each jump also gets a takeoff direction — standing, lateral or approach — and its horizontal speed, so a spike approach and a standing CMJ are never mixed up.

Bar velocity, rep by rep

Strap the sensor to the bar and every rep gets its velocity. Each rep is compared with your last session at the same exercise and load, so you see on the spot whether today is faster or slower.

Olympic lifts, measured to the catch

For cleans and snatches a rep is the dip and the pull, ending at the catch. What happens after the catch is ignored until the bar resets, so the rep count matches what the coach sees.

Games recorded by the belt itself

Wear the belt in practice or a match with no phone nearby. It records every jump on its own; afterwards you connect and import them with one tap.

Team, programs, cloud sync

A coach account links to athlete accounts. The coach sees the whole roster and pushes programs; the athlete sees their own program and results. Everything syncs between the two phones.

History grouped by session

Every test and every set lands in History, grouped by session, filtered by date, athlete or exercise. Open a session to see the jumps or reps inside it.

The System

How the
method
works.

STEP ONE
TEST

We identify your key performance indicators — the measurable physical abilities that directly impact your match performance. Numbers, not guesses.

STEP TWO
ANALYZE

We compare your data against position-specific benchmarks. This tells us exactly which physical qualities are limiting your on-court performance.

STEP THREE
TRAIN

Your program is built around your weakest numbers. Every exercise has a purpose. Every session moves the number. The scoreboard notices.

The Coach

Built in
professional
sport.

I'm a strength and conditioning coach with experience across professional clubs and senior national teams at European and World Championship level — volleyball and basketball, from CSKA Sofia to Champions League qualifying with Azerrail Baku and the Azerbaijan Men's National Team. My background is unusual for a coach: an MSc in High-Performance Sport and a BSc in Statistics & Social Research. Data isn't a buzzword in my training — it's my first degree.

The method was born from professional necessity: when results are measured in wins and losses, training must be measurable too.

My vertical went from 58cm to 67cm in one 12-week block. For the first time I actually understood why every exercise was in the program.

Training finally made sense. Every session had a purpose tied to a number I could measure. My RSI improved 18% in 8 weeks.
