SMARTSHOXX INTEGRATION FOR ATHLETICS STARTS

 

Using a SMARTSHOXX sensor attached to the first split gate users can record a highly specific measurement of reaction time for 
athletics starts. By attaching the SMARTSHOXX sensor to the sprint start blocks, the time from the reactive signal until the first 
movement/vibration of the sprint blocks will be recorded as the first split. Furthermore, if the athlete performs a false start the 
system will record an error for the test. 

REACTIVE MAT START   

DESCRIPTION 

Reactive/Mat Start Sprints are a variation of standard timing with the addition of a reaction time measurement on the start 
gate. This protocol requires the connection of a hand start pad or SMARTJUMP mat to the start gate. The default protocol on 
your PDA is using 2 gates, however if you wish to add additional gates, simply create a NEW PROTOCOL and select the desired 
number of gates. 

USER OPTIONS: 

 

 

In addition to the options available for 

standard timing

, the user can configure  

3.

 

The 

type of reactive start signal

 (Light, Buzzer or Both) 

4.

 

The 

delay

 between the athlete being set (i.e. being on the start pad for 2 seconds) and the reactive start 

signal occurring. This delay can either be a set time, or a time range 

5.
