Train with the right amount of resistance from start to finish
1080 Sprint is able to provide a variable resistance over the course of a sprint. When the athlete pushes off, the resistance can be set to a high level. As you gain speed the resistance can be programmed to decrease to fit the max speed phase and to not cause technical degradation in the stride.
Data with a purpose
The 1080 Sprint reporting options include the possibility to trim and dissect a sprint profile into meaningful pieces of information. How quickly does your running back cover 5 yards? When does the sprinter reach top speed and how long can she sustain it? Which players fatigue quicker over repetitive movements and which ones have higher power endurance? Does the left and right leg stride produce equal amount of force?
This type of information is easily attained with the 1080 Sprint and helps create a better understanding of the performance characteristics of the athlete.
Evaluate symmetry of movement
1080 Sprint enables testing of the athlete for asymmetry throughout the full sport specific movement. This enables coaches to detect even the slightest differences in left and right side force and power. Large asymmetries may be detrimental to performance and lead to injuries over time. On the same token, monitoring the symmetry of an athlete coming back from injury provides good input to return-to-sport decisions.

TESTIMONIALS
“As a young coach, I am always looking for every edge, and when I did my research on this product and got feedback from some of the coaches I respect in this business, I had to have it. My sprinters are addicted to the way it feels to achieve the speeds the 1080 Sprint allows them to. My athletes continue to love this machine, and two of them just made the Rio Olympic team.”
The 1080 Sprint is letting us push our bodies beyond what we would normally be able to do. We have women running over 11 meters per second and men running beyond world record phase. It’s doing things that we need to do to get their bodies used to running at the phase of world finalists and medalists.
