Energy balance
The Kinovea software and Open Barbell System (OBS) do not agree for measurement of average concentric velocity (ACV), peak concentric velocity (PCV), and range of motion (ROM) during the squat and bench press.
Practitioners should be cautious in using Kinovea for measuring ACV, PCV, and ROM as it does not align with the validated OBS measurements.

In summary, the Kinovea software and OBS do not agree for measurement of ACV, PCV, and ROM during the squat and bench press.
