EXPLODE is the ability to express power relative to your body weight. It is a determining factor in athletic movements such as jumping and sprinting where time to perform is limited.

Coaches and athletes often talk about explosiveness and power, but it isn’t always clear how they are looking at it. Explode is the average power an athlete can produce relative to their bodyweight.

Power in physics terms is how much work can be done in a period of time. However if we rearrange the formula for power, we end up with a formula that says;

Power = force * velocity.

Basically that means power is strength multiplied by speed.
