Features
Read full description

The SprintTest works in conjunction with equipment consisting of a Bluetooth/Wifi control center and photocells, which you can purchase by contacting atendimentohidrofit@gmail.com. The system times any distance with millisecond precision, allowing for precision, speed, and ease in measuring athletes' time and speed, using automatic timing in the palm of your hand. It uses error correction technology to eliminate false interruptions, and allows you to create a database to save, review, export, or generate PDFs with the times measured. The kit contains diffuse infrared photocells with a range of 3m without mirrors (the number of photocells can be configured) and a WiFi signal transmitter that transmits the data from the photocells to your cell phone or tablet. It also comes with a battery charger via USB-C cable (5V) and a carrying bag. The SprintTest allows data collection for Scientific Research, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation. It evaluates the average speed over varying distances. With the data obtained, it is possible to configure tests with or without intervals, RAST, YO-YO, Shutle Run, Agility Tests (*), among others. (*) some of these tests must be calculated externally and are not configured in this free version of SprintTest.
