what are timing-lights
Timing lights are advanced electronic sensors used to measure an athlete’s speed, reaction time, and change of direction with high precision. These wireless or tripod-mounted systems use infrared beams to detect when an athlete crosses a start and finish point, eliminating human error and providing accurate, repeatable data.
By analysing split times, acceleration phases, and movement efficiency, coaches and athletes can identify areas for improvement, optimise training programs, and enhance overall athletic performance.
Maximise Performance
Acceleration
Improved acceleration enhances an athlete’s ability to break away from defenders, close gaps, and react to game situations more effectively.Strengthens neuromuscular coordination, maximizing force production and efficiency in the first few steps.
Top Speed
Increased top speed improves performance in sprinting, open-field play, and endurance in repeated high-speed efforts
Reaction Time
Measures how quickly an athlete can respond to external stimuli, such as a starting signal, an opponent’s movement, or a changing play. Improves cognitive processing speed and neuromuscular response, leading to better anticipation and execution of movements
Agility
The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently while maintaining control and balance. Enhances joint stability, eccentric strength, and coordination, reducing the risk of injuries
Technologies
The Swift Performance Timing Gates are a cutting-edge wireless timing system designed to provide high-precision speed, agility, and reaction time measurements for athletes. Utilising infrared sensors these timing gates offer millisecond accuracy, eliminating human error and ensuring reliable, repeatable data for performance analysis. Their portable and easy-to-set-up design makes them ideal for use in various environments, from training fields to high-performance sports labs. The system measures acceleration, top speed, split times, and change of direction, giving coaches and athletes valuable insights into movement efficiency and areas for improvement.
