Hello,
today was a very interesting day. I woke up early and went to York University to test the National Team members of Canada's sprinting team. A few olympians were there and some up and comers that were on the rising stars program. Chris and myself and Caroline from Canadian Sports Center set up the OPTO JUMP and set the lasers all the way down the 100 meter track. We also set up beams that took split times at the 10 m, 20 m, 30 m, 40 m and 50 m marks. All the data went into a computer and statistical analysis was taken of each runner. A Dart fish program was also set up to visually analyse the run of each member. It was a great experience and directly related to my schooling in obvious ways. I hope there is more experiences with other teams in the future. If you dont know what the OPTO JUMP system is I put a link below.
