Training across all three planes of motion—sagittal, frontal, and transverse—is vital for athletes to enhance functional strength, prevent injury, and improve sport-specific skills. By incorporating exercises like medicine ball throws and utilizing advanced equipment such as the Proteus Motion's 3D resistance system, athletes can experience a training advantage that translates into superior performance on the field.

Traditionally, power has been difficult to measure given that it is the product of other metrics (force and speed) and is also produced three-dimensionally. Proteus, however, allows us to evaluate an athlete’s power accurately, how much force and velocity contribute to it and visualize their power production in three dimensions.
