Welcome to the Practical Guide to Build an Accurate Load Cell for Sports, a DIY Tutorial available 24/7 for the next 365 days. Delivered in English, this tutorial provides a comprehensive range of resources to help you gain a deeper understanding of how to create and use these technologies.

Load cells are important tools in sports science, enabling fitness coaches, sports scientists, performance analysts, and physiotherapists to measure the forces exerted by athletes. This valuable data supports the development of customized training programs, tracks athletic progress throughout the season, and monitors athletes' responses and readiness.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the complete process of building an accurate and cost-effective load cell. You will learn how to use it to evaluate force in sports contexts and how to analyze and interpret the data collected. Additionally, we will cover how to integrate the load cell with the Chronojump app for seamless data collection, as well as how to leverage Python programming for more specific and customizable data analysis workflows.
