TRAINING REACTIME

ReacTime is a modular Reaction Training System that can be expanded into a complete Championship False Start Detection System.

The competition ReacTime system detects false starts (as defined by IAAF rule 162.10) – to an accuracy of 1/1000th of a second – and instantly signals this information to the starter.

The system can show the traces for the entire field of athletes or the trace for an individual athlete. The system is easy to use and rugged. The battery or AC powered block sensors are designed to withstand the tough demands of a track environment. When used as a stand-alone personal training system to help sprinters improve their starting technique, an individual ReacTime module can be used to record and display an athlete’s gun-to-motion times with 1/1000th of a second accuracy.


False Start System

• Detects illegal reaction time of athletes in sprinting events and signals a false start to the starter as described in USATF Rule 60.18 and IAAF Rule 162.10.
  
• Measures reaction time to 1/1000th of a second.
  
• Detection mechanism clamps to virtually every manufacturer’s starting blocks.
  
• Control Centre for the starter is lightweight and portable.
  
• Battery operated and rechargeable, or AC powered.
  
• Optional loudspeakers in the blocks assure that all athletes hear the starter’s commands or the sound of the gun simultaneously.
  
• Includes all required cables as well as headset for the starter.
  
• Optional wireless adapters eliminate the need to lay out cables to each of the starting blocks.
  
• ReacTime Software for Windows allows the power waveforms for all the athletes in a race to be graphed, compared, saved and printed.
  
• Optional paper tape printer allows reaction times of the athletes to be printed trackside for each race.
