Optojump is the reference for step analysis: contact time, flight time, step length, asymmetry, to the millisecond and the centimetre. It tells you what happened. With STPO you apply the next rep and your whole planned progression, precisely, from the same numbers. Optojump checks it.
| Optojump | STPO | |
|---|---|---|
| Measures | Every step on the bars: contact, flight, length, speed, asymmetry. About 1 ms and 1 cm. | The run from a phone clip, or from your Optojump file. Block averages over the trial. |
| Live cue | Asymmetry colours and a fixed metronome: one beat for everyone. | A time for every step and every phase, in audio and video, tailored to the athlete. |
| Space | Where the bars are. | Cones and marks that change rep after rep. |
| Next rep | Set by the coach, after reading the numbers. | A tailored progression in micro-doses; one click sets the intensity. |
| Skill and focus | — | 3-in-1: technique, physical load and attention in the same rep. The athlete self-corrects into flow. |
| Check | The reference. | Optojump checks it: prescribed against done. |
Optojump features as published by Microgate (seen 27 Oct 2026). STPO needs no new hardware: it works with the tools you already have.
Optojump, or a phone clip, gives the athlete's real step times and lengths today.
STPO builds the next rep just above that level: cues on time, marks on space.
Optojump measures the rep. Prescribed against done, rep by rep. The dose moves up, or down.
