ReacTime: Athlete Training System

Reaction training system for sprinters to measure and improve starts.

The ReacTime Training System measures athlete reaction times to 1/1000th of a second using sensor units attached to the starting blocks. It lets sprinters and coaches measure and track reaction speed in training, and can be used on its own or alongside FinishLynx start and photo-finish data. ReacTime is a modular system, so a training setup can be expanded toward a full false-start detection system.

Features

• Reaction time to 1/1000th of a second: Captures start and reaction data from block-mounted sensors.
• Patented sensor technology: Uses internationally patented technology in sensor units attached to athlete starting blocks.
• Modular design: A training system can be scaled up; sensors attach to starting blocks.
• FinishLynx integration: Works with FinishLynx start and photo-finish data as part of a World Athletics-approved results network.

Technical details

• Reaction time measurement: to 1/1000th of a second
• Sensor: block-mounted unit using internationally patented technology
• Standards: analyzes starts in accordance with World Athletics rules (illegal reaction times per USATF Rule 162.14 and World Athletics Technical Rule 16.6)
• Integration: connects with FinishLynx timing and photo-finish
