INTRODUCTION
The following guide is designed to provide SMARTSPEED users with a detailed overview of the wide range of protocols and
protocol options.
Each protocol has a range of user options, which are located on the “OPTIONS” tab during your session. Exploring the various
options for each protocol is an excellent way to get to know the system and create a wide range of variations for training and
testing.
“TRACK” PROTOCOL FAMILY (SMARTSPEED AND SMARTSPEED LITE SYSTEMS)
The SMARTSPEED software arrives pre-installed with five standard protocol groups
for testing acceleration, speed and
reaction time.
These include standard timing, traffic light sprint, reactive/mat start, free timing protocol, and chute
protocol.
Pre-installed drills are included in each family; however, new variations can be created by going to NEW/Protocol on the main
menu. The PDA software has up to 6 gate sprints pre-installed, however the user can create a NEW PROTOCOL with
up to 12
gates on one lane
.
PROTOCOL SETTINGS
Variations of standard timing protocols can be made by going to the NEW/Protocol menu.
1.
Layout
(see image to right) – users can enter distances for each split into the yellow
boxes in the top left corner (when finished hit apply). These distances are used to
calculate velocity calculations in the results for standard timing. Additional splits can
be added by increasing the number of boxes.
2.
Subsessions (details)
– the number of sprints each athlete must perform before the
