Determine Reaction Time (Capstone)

How do I use a force platform and PASCO Capstone to determine reaction times? Use of the force platform allows for characterization of the reaction times for the large muscle groups used to propel the athlete out of starting blocks or our of their stance rather than fine muscles used for other reaction time characterization.

This file can also be reconfigured to use our strobe accessory to give a visual queue to the athlete.
