Speed is one of the most valuable performance qualities in sport, but simply timing a sprint does not tell the full story. To develop faster, more explosive athletes, coaches need reliable data that shows how an athlete moves, where performance is improving, and which areas need more attention.

That is exactly where the K-Power sensor stands out. Designed by Kinvent, K-Power is a hybrid sprint and velocity-based training sensor that helps coaches and athletes capture real-time information on speed, power, distance, and movement quality, indoors or outdoors. GameOn Rentals is proud to be an authorized K-Power dealer, with sensors available for both rental and purchase.

More Than Just a Sprint Timer

Traditional sprint testing often gives coaches one final number: total time. While that number is useful, it does not always explain whether an athlete needs to improve acceleration, top-end speed, power production, or strength-speed balance.

K-Power provides a more complete view of athletic development. In Sprint Mode, athletes and coaches can track:

• Maximum speed, helping identify top-end velocity improvements

• Split times across 10, 20, and 30 metres, or 10 to 40 yards, without extensive setup

• Average and peak power, giving insight into explosiveness

• Distance, speed, and power data in real time

• A force-velocity profile through the Kinvent app, eliminating the need for manual spreadsheets and calculations

This makes every speed session more purposeful. Instead of saying, “Run faster,” coaches can use measurable feedback to understand whether an athlete is building better acceleration, maintaining speed more effectively, or producing more power with each sprint.

Built for Real-World Coaching

Great training technology needs to fit into the way coaches actually work. K-Power is designed to be simple, portable, and practical for individual athletes, small groups, teams, trainers, and rehabilitation professionals.

Because it works both indoors and outdoors, it can be used in a wide range of environments:

• On the soccer field for speed and repeat-sprint work

• In a gym for velocity-based strength training

• At a combine, camp, or team testing day

• During return-to-play assessments

• In private coaching sessions and athletic development programs

For soccer players, for example, the difference between a faster first 10 metres and improved maximum speed can directly affect a player’s ability to win a loose ball, create separation, close down an opponent, or make a decisive run in behind. K-Power helps turn those performance goals into measurable training outcomes.

Connect Speed Training and Strength Training

One of K-Power’s biggest advantages is its dual purpose. It is not only a sprint sensor—it is also a velocity-based training (VBT) tool for the weight room.

In VBT Mode, K-Power can measure:

• Average bar speed for each repetition

• Average and peak power output

• Range of motion, helping monitor depth and movement quality

• Colour-coded and audio feedback that gives athletes immediate performance cues

This is valuable because strength training should support on-field speed, not just increase the number on a barbell. Coaches can use bar-speed data to adjust loads, manage fatigue, maintain training intent, and make sure athletes are training in the right velocity range for their goals.

For example, if an athlete’s bar speed drops significantly during a set, that may indicate fatigue or a load that no longer matches the purpose of the session. Rather than relying only on guesswork, coaches can make informed decisions in real time.

Make Progress Visible

Athletes are more engaged when they can see proof that their work is paying off. K-Power brings instant feedback into training, making performance development more motivating and easier to understand.

A player may not always feel faster from week to week, but data can show meaningful progress such as:

• A better 10-metre split time

• Higher peak sprint speed

• Increased peak power during acceleration

• Faster bar velocity at the same load

• Improved movement range and consistency in the gym

That visibility also helps coaches communicate more effectively with athletes and parents. Instead of relying on broad statements like “you are getting stronger” or “your speed is improving,” coaches can show objective performance trends over time.

A Valuable Tool for Testing, Development, and Return to Play

K-Power is not only useful for high-performance athletes. It can support athlete development at many levels, from youth players learning movement fundamentals to competitive athletes preparing for a season or returning from injury.

Its applications include speed training, strength training, force-velocity profiling, testing, research, rehabilitation, and progressive return-to-play monitoring. The Kinvent app provides real-time feedback on velocity, power output, and movement quality, allowing professionals to use objective data when guiding training and recovery decisions.

For coaches, that means a more organized approach to athlete development. For athletes, it means training with clearer goals and a better understanding of what improvement looks like.

Rent or Purchase K-Power From GameOn

Not every program needs to purchase technology immediately, and not every athlete needs access to the same equipment year-round. That is why GameOn offers flexible access to K-Power sensors.

As an authorized K-Power dealer, GameOn Rentals can help athletes, coaches, teams, trainers, schools, and facilities access this powerful speed and performance tool through:

• Short-term rentals for testing days, combines, camps, tryouts, events, and special training blocks

• Longer-term rentals for seasonal programming, team development, and ongoing athlete monitoring

• Purchase options for coaches, clubs, facilities, and performance professionals ready to make K-Power part of their regular training system

Whether you are running a soccer academy, coaching a youth team, operating a performance facility, or helping athletes prepare for the next level, K-Power gives you the data to train with purpose.

Train Smarter. Measure What Matters.

Speed development should not be based on assumptions alone. With K-Power, athletes and coaches can measure sprint performance, power, strength-training velocity, and movement quality in real time—then use that information to make better training decisions.

GameOn Rentals is proud to bring this innovative technology to the Canadian sports-performance community. K-Power sensors are available to rent or purchase through GameOn, helping more athletes turn training effort into measurable results.
