Affordable, portable vertical jump and RSI testing for European sport. Football, rugby, and GAA academies, strength and conditioning, sports science labs, and physio teams use Plyomat to measure jump height, contact time, and reactive strength in centimetres, no laptop required. Plyomat ships to Europe from the US, so contact us about your order.
Affordable where lab kit is not. European testing has long meant either an expensive optical system like Optojump or a laboratory force plate. Plyomat is the affordable field alternative: a complete system is about $950 USD as a ballpark, against an Optojump base kit of roughly €2,850 excluding VAT and force plates that run far higher. You get a credible reactive testing signal without a lab budget.
Portable, with no laptop. Plyomat is a force-based contact mat. The athlete jumps on a polyurethane switch mat and the Controller 3.0 detects ground contact directly. Results show on an on-device screen and in the free Plyomat 3.0 app, so a coach can test a full squad pitchside or in the gym with no computer to set up and no LED bars to align.
The metrics a programme needs, in metric. Plyomat measures CMJ jump height, ground contact time, Reactive Strength Index (RSI), and DRI (Dynamic Rebound Index), reporting jump height in centimetres and metres. It is independently force-plate validated, agreeing within about 1 centimetre of an AccuPower force plate (ICC 0.85, r≈0.97), so the numbers slot straight into a sports science or strength and conditioning report.
Optojump, made by Microgate in Bolzano, Italy, is the European reference optical system. It carries genuine lab pedigree: sub-centimetre optical resolution, extensive published validation, multi-language software, and running and gait analysis that Plyomat does not do. If you run a research lab or publish studies, that pedigree matters and we concede it openly. The trade-offs are cost and setup: a base kit is about €2,850 excluding VAT and scales up per added metre, and the system is laptop tethered with LED-bar alignment before every session.
Plyomat is the affordable field mat that answers those trade-offs: a far lower price, an on-device screen with no laptop, real drop-and-go portability, and a force-plate-validated signal. It will not replace a lab for sprint mechanics, but for fast vertical jump and reactive testing across a squad it is built for the job. See the full Optojump alternative breakdown for a side-by-side.
If you are weighing other systems common in European programmes, Plyomat is also a straightforward Chronojump alternative and Just Jump alternative, with an on-device screen, modular mats, and published validation rather than a self-build or a single legacy metric.
Here is the honest position. Plyomat ships to Europe from the United States. There is no European warehouse and no euro checkout on this site, so the simplest route is to contact us about your European order and we will confirm shipping options and pricing for your country.
On price, treat the US figures as a ballpark: a complete system (two mats, Controller 3.0, and cables) is about $950 USD, with switch mats from $200 USD. European pricing and shipping are provided on enquiry, and because the order arrives from the US, import VAT and any duties may apply at delivery under your own country's customs rules. We do not quote a fixed euro figure here for that reason. Tell us where you are based and what you need, and we will give you a clear answer.
