How to Use
Below you will find the sprint calculator which is designed to predict various sprint parameters based on an already known value. For example, if you know that you run 30m in x amount of seconds, then the calculator will predict your 60m, 100m sprint times as well as your top speed based on your 30m sprint time. How to use the calculator to evaluate your performance can be found here.
Important Notes
- The calculator assumes that sprints were done while wearing sprint spikes on a running track
- The calculator assumes that Fully Automated Timing (FAT) was used. Therefore, times obtained using non-FAT methods – such as by stopwatch – should not be used.
- The calculator assumes that timing began upon the athlete’s first movement. Therefore, times recorded where the timing began as the athlete passes through a start gate should not be used with this calculator (with the obvious exception of fly times).
- The calculator assumes that starting blocks were used when obtaining the sprint times. For an experienced athlete, a rough conversion is that a block start will result in a sprint time that is 0.1 – 0.2s faster.
- The allowable input values are restricted to a certain range.
Two versions of the calculator are available – the Sprint Calculator and the Full Sprint Report.
The Full Sprint Report is emailed to you and additionally provides you with your percentile ranking compared to other athletes based on the data provided.
