This guide summarizes how to create a new exercise type using the 1080 Control App. This summary applies to all 1080 Motion products (Sprint, Cable, Quantum)

## Step 1: Open the Exercise Library

* Click the three-bar menu in the upper left-hand corner.
* Select Exercise Library from the dropdown menu.
* You'll see three sections:
    * Public – Preloaded exercises from 1080 Motion.
    * Private – Your custom exercises.
    * Both – A mix of public and private exercises.
* Use tags to quickly sort exercises and create testing or training templates (e.g., assessments, sports-specific drills).

## Step 2: Create a New Exercise

* Click the yellow "New Exercise" button in the lower left corner.
* Name the exercise (e.g., "Single Forward Jump").
* Choose an icon that matches the exercise type.
* Assign a tag (e.g., Basketball, assessment, training).
* Upload start and stop position images (optional).

## Step 3: Choose the Exercise Type
Select the appropriate exercise type:

* Single – For isolated movements (e.g., a single-leg jump).
* Synchro – Uses two quantum cable machines together.
* Linear – For continuous motion exercises (e.g., running, swimming).
* Change of Direction – For agility-based movements.

## Step 4: Add Instructions and Media
Enter exercise instructions for users.
Add a YouTube or Vimeo link for a demo video.

## Step 5: Adjust Exercise Settings

* Click Settings in the upper right corner.
* Set the minimum required distance (how much minimum movement counts as a rep).
        * Example: 15 cm for small movements like shoulder rotations.
        * For jumps, increase the distance to avoid false reps.
* Select rep cycle display:
        * Concentric first, then eccentric (or vice versa).
* Customize resistance settings:
        * Choose between constant load, variable load, or percentage of body weight.
        * Example: Test a single-leg forward jump at 5% body weight for all users.
* Set speed limits for concentric and eccentric movements.
* Click Save to store your settings.

## Step 6: Use Your New Exercise

* Your exercise will now appear in the Private list.
* Filter by type (Single, Syncro, Linear, CoD.) or tag (e.g., Basketball) to find it.
* To edit an exercise, click the Edit button and make changes.
* When creating a new session, select your custom exercise to include it in training.
* Now you're ready to create and customize exercises quickly in 1080 Sprint!
