Speed & Agility
5–10 m Sprint Test
Speed over the 0–5 m and 5–10 m segments on the field; peak and average speed.
Modules
- Canlı ölçüm
- Video analizi
The 5–10 m Sprint Test measures short-distance acceleration. Lines at 0, 5 and 10 m are marked on the field; the app detects the moment the athlete crosses each line on the live camera or in video and calculates split speeds, peak and average speed.
What Is It Used For?
- Assessing first-step speed and acceleration capacity
- Pre-season and in-season performance tracking
- Providing data for return-to-sport decisions after hamstring and groin injuries
- Objective comparison of athletes within a team
Measured Parameters
- 0–5 m time and speed (s, m/s)
- 5–10 m time and speed (s, m/s)
- Total 10 m time
- Peak and average speed
- Speed–time chart
Setup and Camera Placement
- Mark the 0, 5 and 10 m lines with cones or tape on a flat, dry surface.
- Fix the camera to the side of the running lane, level with the 5 m line, about 8–10 m away.
- All three lines and the athlete must stay in frame for the whole run.
- Mark the lines on screen in the app; do not move the camera afterwards.
Tips for Accurate Measurement
- Use a tape measure for the lines; a 10 cm error noticeably changes the speed.
- The camera should face the lane squarely; an angled view distorts split times.
- Use a high frame rate (60 fps) where possible.
- Have the athlete do a dynamic warm-up and 1–2 sub-maximal practice runs first.
How Is the Test Done?
- The athlete stands ready half a metre behind the start line.
- The athlete starts at will; timing begins automatically when the start line is crossed.
- The athlete crosses the 10 m line at full speed and slows down after it.
- 2–3 trials are performed with at least 2 minutes rest; the best trial is saved.
What Will I See on the Results Screen?
- Time and speed values per segment
- Peak and average speed
- Speed–time chart and the annotated video
- A record saved to the profile and comparable with earlier tests
Interpreting the Results
- The 0–5 m segment reflects acceleration, the 5–10 m segment the transition to speed; follow both separately.
- In post-injury follow-up, compare with the pre-injury value or the team average.
- Surface, footwear and weather affect the result; compare under the same conditions.
Clinical Use Example
For a footballer returning to the pitch after a hamstring injury, the 5–10 m sprint is measured weekly. The 0–5 m time approaching the pre-injury value and a shrinking gap between trials are used as supporting data for the return-to-full-training decision.
