Set three timing points at 0, 5 and 10 m. Start each player from the same mark behind the first sensor and keep the run-out clear. One attempt then gives you the 5 m split and the 10 m total. Subtract the split from the total to find the time for the second 5 m.

How do you set up the lane in a sports hall?

  • Measure from detection point to detection point. Mark 0, 5 and 10 m with a tape. Set the sensors beside the running path and position them according to the equipment instructions.

  • Mark a repeatable standing start. A study of professional futsal players used a self-start from 1 m behind the first gate. If your club chooses another offset, record it and use it again at retest. Professional futsal test methods.

  • Keep the finish clear. Check that a player can run through 10 m and slow down before reaching a wall, goal or queue. Use a shorter measured test if the venue lacks room.

How do you read a 5 m split?

A player reaches 5 m in 1.14 s and 10 m in 1.94 s. The second 5 m took 0.80 s. Store both cumulative times from the same run. At retest, look at the two segments before interpreting a change in the total.
