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.
