Abstract: It is described 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, said method comprising the following steps: a. measure a force in vertical direction (Z-direction) on one or more plates attached to one or more load cells; b. use the force measurement in step a) to continuous calculating the velocity of, and relative movement of the combined center of mass of the person and the lifting weight, c. provide feedback in real-time to the user, where the feedback relates to velocity and/or lifting distance in relation to predefined values and/or generated values, in order to the user to adjust the training based on the feedback.
