10 yd / 10 m dash

Acceleration

The first metres decide the duels. First-movement start — combine-comparable.

What it measures

Pure front-end force — force in one step, then pushing behind the body. No form, no top speed: just how hard you get moving.

Why it matters

This is the quality that shows up most often. GPS data from team sport puts players under 8–10 % of match time above 80–90 % of their top speed — even in football. Nearly every duel, every first metre to a loose ball, is settled inside four seconds — and inside four seconds you are still accelerating. Improve the top end and you improve a sliver of the match. Improve the first ten metres and you improve almost all of it.

The protocol

How to run it

1

Place the start line at the athlete's mark — the app measures out the finish line itself. Drop a cone at each line.

2

The filmer stands side-on at mid-course and places the AR line at the start cone.

3

The athlete lines up with the toes at the cone. The filmer confirms they're ready.

4

Go whenever you want — the clock starts on your first movement.

5

Run through the finish cone, never to it. Best of two counts.

✓ AR-MEASURED

How the app measures

The engine tracks the body through space and starts the clock on the first sustained movement — the NFL Combine convention. The finish is a fixed plane 10 m from the line; the clock stops when the shoulders cross it, interpolated between frames.

Field-validated against stopwatch and laser pairs — the validation log is open, and every ranked run carries its video clip.
