Summary of Contents for Strong by Science G-Flight
- Page 1 G-Flight User Manual (Betas)
- Page 2 G-Flight The G-Flight is comprised of two components The component on the left of two shown in the picture is the display component. This component has the “on/off switch”, the display screen for jump metrics and a sensor. The component on the right of the two shown in the picture simply acts as a sensor.
- Page 3 Turning On The on off switch is located on the back of the display piece (figure 1). When turned on, the back will light up green and flash red several times before the system Figure 1 Figure 2 is ready to be used (figure 2)
- Page 4 When the sensors are properly lined up, simply breaking the beam (tapping your hand, feet or taking a small hop) will register and the metrics will appear on the G-Flight display (as shown)

Page 5: Foot Placement
Foot Placement Line up your pinky toes with the sensors. You have want to take a small hop before you take your first jump. This will make sure the sensors are lined... - Page 6 Landing Landings need to be consistent. If you land outside of the sensors, the jump will not register. We have found that a couple of practice jumps or adding a visual landing marker can help limit the error...
- Page 7 Metrics The G-Flight will provide you with four metrics -GCT -RSI Each will be elaborated on i the following pages...
- Page 8 Time in air Time in air is measured in milliseconds. This metric is used to help calculate jump height...
- Page 9 Jump Height Jump height is measured in centimeters. Jump height is derived from the time in air metric (ms). It is most accurate when landings are takeoffs are consistent...
- Page 10 Ground Contact Time Ground contact time (GCT) The length of time one’s feet are on the ground preceding the jump Typically only useful for continuous movements (i.e depth jumps, hops, or bounds)
- Page 11 Reactive Strength Index Reactive strength index (RSI) is derived from ground contact time and jump height. It is a composite score used to measure the level of “reactive strength”. It was developed at the Australian Institute of Sport and more information can be easily found on the web...

Page 12: Best Practices
Best practices The G-Flight is best used indoors (sun interference outside) The G-Flight needs to be lined up properly (sensors facing each other) The G-Flights metrics will be best if landings are takeoffs are controlled The G-Flight does not save data The G-Flight needs to be fully charged for best readings The G-Flight’s sensors need to be free to obstruction...
