About
Kati Pasanen is a leading researcher in sports biomechanics and athletic performance, with a focus on understanding the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying maximal strength and power production. Her work bridges the gap between laboratory-based assessments and practical field testing, particularly through the use of countermovement-jump (CMJ) velocity-load profiling. In her highly cited 2025 study, Pasanen demonstrated that force-velocity jump mechanics can reliably predict multijoint maximal eccentric and concentric strength in collegiate athletes, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional single-joint or repetition-maximum testing. This contribution has significant implications for injury prevention and performance optimization, as it allows practitioners to assess strength qualities without maximal lifting. With over 3 citations in a short time, her research is already shaping how strength and conditioning coaches evaluate athletes. Pasanen’s work is characterized by its methodological rigor and practical relevance, making her a rising voice in the field of human performance. Her ongoing investigations continue to refine how we quantify and train explosive strength in sport.
