HUGE difference between hand timed 40 YDD and laser timed.

quote:

The results showed the hand-timed 40-yard dashes were significantly faster compared to electronic-timed (4.90 ± 0.34 s vs. 5.12 ± 0.35 s, respectively). A difference of 0.22 seconds! The novice coaches produced the fastest sprint times (4.86 ± 0.33 s). Interestingly, the reliability for hand-timed 40’s was quite high (Intraclass Correlation values >0.90). The smallest worthwhile difference for hand and electronic-timed 40-yard dashes was 0.14 and 0.12 seconds, respectively.


The NFL went to laser timed 40 in 1999. You can pretty much ignore all the times before that.

Are you stating that people only learned how to run in 1999?
