Position: Set up the AxIT Timing Gates in a straight line at the chosen distance. Position one gate at the start line and one at the finish line. If required, place additional gates at intermediate distances (e.g., 5m, 10m) to record split times.
Cue: “Start just behind the first gate (or within the gate if using In-Beam Trigger). Sprint through the course at maximum effort, continuing through the finish gate. Run straight through—don’t slow down before the finish.”
Procedure:
Step 1 – Place the Timing Gates at the selected start and finish distances. Add extra gates if split times are needed.
Step 2 – In the AxIT Timing Gate app, create or select the athlete/team and choose Sprints as Drill Type. Select Distance and Type of sprint test under Drill Type.
Step 3 – Choose trigger type then click next:
-
Standard – timing starts when the athlete crosses the start gate.
-
In-Beam – timing starts when the athlete is already in position between the start gate. Start gate will display red light when activated.
Step 4 – Ensure all gates are powered on, scan and connect them in the app following the prompts, and confirm their order. Use the Flash function if needed to identify/reorder. If split distance needs to be adjusted click on the distance icon.
Step 5 – Tap Start Trial in the app. Position the athlete as required.
Step 6 – On the athlete’s sprint, the system automatically starts when triggered and stops when the finish gate is crossed. Any intermediate gates will record split times.
Step 7 – After the sprint:
-
Tap Save Trial to store the result.
-
Tap Redo if you want to retest without saving.
Step 8 – Review results in the app. Use the Leaderboard icon to compare trials or switch between athletes.
