Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-115). / The reliability and comparability of results obtained from different methods of assessment has been the source of debate for the last decade. Aim: To investigate the reliability and comparability of measurements of force, velocity and power measured simultaneously during upper and lower body resistance exercises for the following three methods: a) power derived from ground reaction force, i.e. using a force plate (FP), b) power derived from the displacement of the bar, i.e. displacement tracking laser (L) and c) power as a combination of force derived from ground reaction force (FP) and velocity derived from the displacement of the bar (L) (FPL). Methods: 15 Males with a history of resistance training of at least one year participated in the study.
