Validation
How PlateMate compares to laboratory and commercial gold standards — in academic studies and internal head-to-head signal comparisons.
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.
