SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY
Velocity-based training (VBT) is the training method with more scientific research behind it and is proven to be the most effective for strength training.
VITRUVE is the tool used by thousands of coaches and athletes because it has the highest precision in the market with a scientific validation study that supports it.
YOU ARE THE DIFFERENCE
Know what training is the most effective for your athlete.
IT ADAPTS TO YOUR ATHLETES.
GET TO KNOW YOUR ATHLETE’S BODY AND IMPROVE MORE THAN EVER.
Each athlete, each sport, and each person is completely different. Not everyone responds equally to the same stimulus. The first step to optimize training is to know which stimulus is better for each one.
Velocity-based training can do it:
- Know what your athlete’s performance status is every day, instantly.
- Create a unique force-velocity profile for each athlete.
- Adapt the training and avoid injuries.
GIVE VOICE TO YOUR ATHLETE’S BODY
By using VITRUVE you can know what is best for your athletes and what to do to unlock their maximum potential.
TRACK YOUR PERFORMANCE
Your 1RM is different every day, your performance can vary up to 20% in each session. Therefore, trying to find out what your 1RM is by reaching failure or trying to throw it is a big mistake.
ADJUST THE FATIGUE
The fatigue corresponds to the loss of speed. Knowing it will allow you to adapt your training properly, achieving with the minimum necessary, improving more, and recovering sooner.
AVOID INJURIES
Using the perfect load every day and knowing what fatigue we are managing greatly reduces the risk of injury and overtraining.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR VBT DEVICE
What is a linear Encoder?
A linear encoder is composed of an optical encoder capable of measuring angular movements and a coil that allows linearizing them, in this way, any linear movement can be measured.
It is a very useful tool when it comes to evaluating the work an athlete does in the gym. Thanks to different variables measured by the device (displacement, velocity, acceleration, power …) it’s possible to know with high precision the fitness condition of an athlete daily and without the added fatigue.
In this way, among many other things, you can know how much weight your athlete must train every day to get the maximum match to the lifting session. You can also find and control the fatigue that the athlete accumulates, avoiding possible injuries in their specific sport.
Linear encoder or Accelerometer?
Is the app for free? Where can I download it?
Yes, the app is totally free. You can download the Vitruve app from the App Store (iOS) or the Speed4Lifts app on Google Play (Android*)
* We have temporarily paused updates on Android. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Can I return my VITRUVE after I buy it?
Yes, you have 30 days of guaranteed return. The customer must take care of the shipping costs and also the charges that may have been due to customs. The total sum of the expenses will be deducted from the amount to be returned.
IMPORTANT: You MUST first send us an email to [email protected] and wait until we answer you with the instructions to send it back.
If you do not follow the instructions we give you, it may incur more expenses for you.
What are the metrics I can analyze with the Vitruve Encoder?
- Mean Propulsive Velocity (MPV): is the mean speed from the beginning of the concentric phase until the acceleration of the bar is less than gravity.
- Mean Velocity
(MV): It is the average value of the total speeds in a sum of time. That is, it is the average of the sum of all the instantaneous velocities in a survey. - Fatigue: Within speed-based training, fatigue is measurable through loss of speed both between sets and within sets.
- Fatigue between: Between-set fatigue refers to the loss of speed from the fastest set rep of the entire workout to the slowest set rep.
- Fatigue intra: It refers to the loss of speed that occurs within the same series, from the first repetition, or the fastest repetition (in some cases it is not the first) to the slowest.
- Peak Velocity: The maximum speed is a specific point in the movement where the speed of the measured object (center of mass, weight, projectile…) is maximum. Depending on the type of movement being performed, the maximum speed will occur in different regions within the movement.
- ROM (Range of Motion): For its acronym in English Range of Motion, or range of movement, we refer to the distance or route that we make with the load, in one of its phases (concentric or eccentric), either with a bar, a dumbbell, or any that being the object to move, whatever type they are.
- Mean Power: It is the average value of the power applied during a lift.
- Peak Power: It is the value of the power that is reached by applying the greatest degree of force at a specific moment.
- Peak Force: The maximum force that an athlete can express regardless of his body weight.
Why isn’t Vitruve app/Teams calculating my 1RM during the exercise?
Sometimes it’s common that your 1RM is not shown during a lifting exercise. This can be due to 3 factors:
1. The lifting exercise is being performed with a higher velocity than its maximum velocity equation.
2. We don’t have an available equation for that specific exercise (in other words, a load-velocity profile that provides an equation to calculate the 1RM hasn’t been created).
3. The lifting exercise is being performed with a higher velocity than the established 1RM filter of the exercise.
