1. A method for continuous measurement of and regulatory feedback for strength-training where the reaction forces from a person with a lifting weight that is standing on a surface, is transferred through the surface, the surface comprises one or more plates attached to one or more load cells, the method comprising:
a. measuring a force in vertical direction (Z-direction) on the one or more plates attached to one or more load cells;
b. using the force measurement in step a) to continuously calculate the velocity and relative movement of the combined center of mass of the person and the lifting weight in the vertical direction (Z-direction),
c. providing feedback in real-time to the user, where the feedback relates to at least one of velocity and lifting distance in relation to at least one of predefined values and generated values, in order to the user to adjust the training based on the feedback.
