Power-Force-Velocity Profiling of Sprinting Athletes: Methodological and Practical Considerations When Using Timing Gates

In conclusion, the present findings showed that the entire acceleration phase should be covered by timing gates to ensure acceptably valid and reliable sprint mechanical outputs. However, only 3 timing checkpoints (i.e., 10, 20, and 30 m) are required to ensure valid and reliable outputs for team sport athletes.
