Quick Start Guide: Assisted Sprint

This guide summarizes the steps to set up and use the Assisted Sprint app.

Note
Quick start apps are used to quickly start a workout on the machine. To save data and perform analysis, please login and utilize the Sessions App.

Step 1: Launch the App

• Open the Assisted Sprint app and click to begin.

Step 2: Set Up the Zero Position

• Calibrate the "zero position" to ensure the line does not fully retract after a sprint.
• Recommended distance: at least 5 meters or 5 yards from the machine.

Step 3: Define Zones

• No Pull Zone: Minimum 5 meters or 5 yards from the machine.
• Slow Down Zone: Between the zero position and the finish line, with a minimum of 30 meters to allow the athlete to slow down safely.
• Running Zone: Can range from 5 meters to 90 meters, depending on the sprint length.

Step 4: Adjust Load

• Default load: 3 kilograms (recommended for initial trial of assisted sprinting).
• Increase or decrease the load using the app controls.
• Fine-tune to values like 3.5 kg or 4.2 kg as needed using the "fine" option.

Note
Slowly increase assisted load. Learn more by watching this tutorial video.

Step 6: Set Measurement Distance

• Choose the distance to measure (e.g., 5 yards, 10 yards, or 30 meters) in the top bar.
• The app units match the machine setting.

Step 7: Set Release Belt

-Connect the yellow handle velcro release strap to the tether and waist belt.

• Connect the yellow handle velcro release strap to the tether and waist belt.
• Overlap the velcro release strap 2-3 inches with the yellow handle in front of the runner's waist. This allows the belt to easily rip away at the release point during the Sprint.

Step 8: Begin the Sprint

• Ensure the settings are correct, then start the sprint.
• Use the yellow manual release handle to break away from the line 30 meters in front of the 1080 Sprint to allow deceleration without motorized load.

Step 9: View Results

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

Step 10: Manage Reps

  1. Select the rep.
