In this configuration OptoJump is connected to a PC. All you need to do is to position the two optical bars on the ground, placing them opposite each other up to 3 metres apart (a green led signals that positioning is exact) and connect the dedicated cable to the serial port (or USB output) of the PC. OptoJump makes it possible to acquire flight and ground-contact times during sequences of jumps in an extremely simple and accurate way.
Using a dedicated versatile and easy to use software program, OptoJump allows the acqusition of data for the measurement of explosive and elastic force, including the measurement of times of reaction to visual and sound signals. Without resorting to more complicated and invasive analyses, it is thus possible to obtain numerous parameters which characterise the athlete. During the performance of the tests, the trainer has at his/her disposal numerous evaluation indices such as: number of jumps, contact time, flight time, height in cm, rhythm, specific energy (J/kg), specific power (W/kg), total energy (J), total power (w), etc.

The data acquired are presented in both numerical and graphic form (figures with bars or lines) and allow immediate evaluation of the results obtained.

It is also possible to mount OptoJump on a treadmill, placing the bars at the side of the belt. Having noted the speed of the belt, the program takes the contact times, flight times and the step length of the athlete during running.
