Accelerometer project
Hey guys, Im new to the forums.
Im trying to do a project that will measure the force that is applied to an object, in general terms.
But this is my main goal, I want to measure the force used by an athlete to take off from the ground for a jump. I will post a link of a video that show a high jumper. In the video i would like to measure the force used at the exact moment of take off. I was thinking of placing a pressure mat of some kind in the spot of take off.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me.

What ever body parts are moving, wouldn't the force that matters be the force on the point of departure, over a length of time?
I think a load sensor mat under the point of departure and record the force and duration will give you what you want.
