SmartSpeed Drill - Lap Timing

Overview:

Lap drills are designed for a range of fitness tests where the athlete must start and finish at the same gate (completing laps). With a minimum of 1 timing gate per lane, the athlete will move through a series of split gates and back through the start gate in a Fixed Recovery, Fixed Duration, or completing as many laps as defined in your protocol.

Minimum number of timing gates: 1

Suitable for SmartSpeed Dash and SmartSpeed Pro

Drill Options:

  • Fixed Duration - duration of intervals are fixed. The rest period is included in the interval
  • Fixed Recovery - rest periods of intervals are fixed. It starts when the athlete finishes one interval
  • In Beam/Mat Start Type - begin with the beam directly on the athlete and timing begins when the athlete leaves the beam. If using a SmartPad, the athlete begins with their weight on the SmartPad and timing begins when pressure is removed from the SmartPad.
