This guide summarizes the steps to set up and use the 1080 Sprint 2 for resisted and assisted skating in an ice rink environment.

Note

Quick start apps are used to quickly start a workout on the machine. To save data and perform analysis, please connect the control app remotely. How to connect Sprint 2 or Cable to Control App

1080 Tip! Wipe down the line and unit after on-ice use and store the machine in a dry place. Moisture from ice and cold-to-warm transitions can cause condensation inside the unit.

Step 1: Secure the 1080 Sprint 2 off the ice or on the ice

Off Ice - Position the unit at the end of the skating lane on a stable, level surface — the bench, behind the boards with the door open, or on a platform at ice level.

Make sure the unit cannot slide toward the ice. Add weight to the telescoping handle for it to not slide onto the ice.

On Ice - Position the unit with traction spikes attached to the 1080 Sprint 2 and the telescoping handle. The weight of the machine will secure the unit from sliding. If needed, add weight to the telescoping handle.

Align the line with the skating direction and keep the lane clear of other skaters.
Attach the line to the athlete using a waist belt or harness.

Step 2: Launch the Quick Start Resisted Sprint App or Sessions App

Open the app on the 1080 Sprint 2 display screen to record skating top speed, 0-5 time, and total time.
Utilize the Sessions App to record and save a resisted skate exercise and view advanced metrics. Learn more about the Sessions App.

Step 3: Set Up the Zero Position

Calibrate the "zero position" to ensure the line does not fully retract after a rep.
Recommended distance: at least 5 meters or 5 yards from the machine, at the edge of the ice.

Step 4: Choose Mode

Resisted: Athlete skates away from the machine against resistance.
Assisted: Athlete skates toward the machine with assistance (overspeed).

Step 5: Adjust Load

Default load: 3 kilograms (recommended for baseline skating testing).
Increase or decrease the load using the app controls.
Fine-tune to values like 5.25 kg or 3.5 kg as needed using the "fine" option.

Step 6: Set Measurement Distance

Choose the distance to measure (e.g., 15 meters, 30 meters, or the length of the rink) in the top bar.
The app units match the machine setting.

Step 7: Begin the Skate

Ensure the settings are correct, then start the skating movement.
Adjust load and distance settings as necessary between reps.

Step 8: View Results

After the rep, results will display:
Miles per hour (or kph in metric). - Total time. - Distance skated.
Results are saved as reps and are kept until you exit the app.

Note

Data will save to the user account when using the Sessions App on the 1080 Sprint 2 screen or the Control App on a Windows laptop or tablet. This requires the user to log in to their account and have an active professional software license.

Step 9: Manage Reps

To delete a rep: Select the rep.
Press the delete button.
