Double timer / VMA test / HMI stopwatch

Description of the article « Double timer / VMA test / HMI stopwatch »

Cyclic boxing gym timer designed for combat sports, offering a stopwatch, a combined repetitive timer: work time - pause time adjustable up to 99 cycles or rounds, a speed cadencer in km/h and a program for evaluating and developing aerobic capacity, endurance test, shuttle, VMA test, Luc-light test, etc.

VMA test:

This mode enables the setting of progressive training and performance tests. These tests involve sustaining an increasing speed in increments until stalling.
They determine Maximum Aerobic Speed - MAS.
For this purpose, the timer features a new progressive cadencer based on speed in km/h. It allows the athlete to follow a running rhythm while accelerating. The
cadence emits a beep at regular intervals (defined by distance and running speed). To enable the runner to follow the cadence beeps, we recommend using an
amplified loudspeaker connected to the jack output. amplified loudspeaker connected to the timer's 3.5mm jack output, or relay the beep using a whistle.

Test Luc-Léger :

(with the VMA Cadenceur):

The principle is to run 20m intervals around an athletics track at the pace imposed by the Cadenceur
. VMA, while increasing running speed by 0.5km/h every minute. The time needed to cover the 20m intervals will get shorter and shorter. When the
runner is no longer synchronized with the VMA Cadencer, the VMA will be equal to the speed of the last fully completed stop.

• Leger-Boucher test (with the VMA Cadenceur) : The principle is similar to the Luc-Léger test, except that the duration of the plateau is 2min and the acceleration is 1km/h per plateau.
• Light test (with the VMA cadence meter): Same as the Luc-Léger test, except that for this one, the 20m intervals to be run are out and back and not around a track. The restarts at each marker favor team sports athletes over track and field runners.
• Half-Cooper test (with stopwatch): This involves running a maximum distance in 6 min and taking a time reading every 200m to assess ongoing speed. The distance covered (in m) divided by 100 will be the VMA. (ex: 1465m in 6min => VMA is 14.65km/h)
• Vameval test (with the VMA cadencer): Same as the Luc-Léger test except that the starting speed is imposed at 8km/h
.
• Gacon test 45-15 (with T1-T2 timer): Sequencing of running and recovery times. Set up a track with a 1st interval of 100m, followed only by intervals of 6.25m. The runner has 45 sec to cover the 1st 100m interval (i.e. a speed of 8km/h), then walks for 15 sec to the marker 6.25m beyond. The runner then turns around and has to run back to the starting line, i.e. 106.25m, in 45 sec, then walk on the spot for 15 sec. The runner then turns and runs to the next marker, 112.50m, in 45 sec, then walks on the spot for 15 sec to the marker 6.25m beyond. Then the runner turns around and has to run back to the start line, and so on... Each increase in distance corresponds to a 0.5km/h increase in speed. When the runner can no longer run the distance within the allotted 45 sec, he has reached his VMA.
