Test parameters
The test has only one test parameter: The number of sprints to
be performed in one test action.
Test sequence
The subject sprints through the track from the first photocell to
the second and
Powertimer SW-300
measures the total time.
While the subject is sprinting, the
Performing Test
notification
will be visible.
Test results
The Powertimer measures the sprint times.
8.8 Speed Test (ST)
Test description
In
Speed Test
the subject sprints a distance and the total time
of the sprint and possible split times are measured.
Test parameters
ST has the following test parameters:
•
Distance
to be run in one sprint in meters.
•
Number of Sprints
to be performed within one test action.
•
Number of Split Times
within one sprint. For each split time
there is a parameter that specifies its distance from the start
of sprint.
• Split distances
from the start of the sprint. These can be edit-
ed on Test Action level.
Since there are four plugs for photocells, the maximum
number of split times within one sprint is two.
Test sequence
The subject sprints from the starting photocell to the finishing
photocell. Powertimer measures the total time and the split
times if they exist.
Test results
ST contains three pages of results, however if there are not
split times in the test, the two last pages will be empty. Other-
wise the two last pages will show the split times and split dis-
tances.
The first page shows the total time spent in the sprint and the
speed calculated from the total time and sprint distance.
Training
ST has a training mode as described in chapter 5
Training
. In
training the number of split times can be specified so that it is
not necessary to disconnect the split time photocells while do-
ing the training. However, in training the split times are
never measured.
8.9 Margaria’s Stair Run Test (Margaria Stair Run)
Test description
In
Margaria’s Stair Run Test
the subject sprints up a flight of
stairs. The test measures short-term anaerobic power.
Test parameters
Margaria’s Stair Run Test
has two parameters: The height of
the stairs (
Vertical Rise
)
and the number of sprints to be per-
formed in one test action.
Test sequence
The photocells are placed at the bottom and top of the stairs
and the subject sprints from the bottom to the top.
