Short sprints have been modeled using the mono-exponential equation that involves two parameters: (1) maximum sprinting speed (MSS) and (2) relative acceleration (TAU). The most common methods to assess short sprint performance are with a radar gun or timing gates. In this paper, we: 1) provide the <strong>shorts</strong> package that can model sprint timing data from these two sources; 2) discuss potential issues with assessing sprint time (synchronization and flying start, respectively); and 3) provide model definitions within the <strong>shorts</strong>&nbsp;package to help alleviate errors within the subsequent parameter outcomes.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Strength and Conditioning}, author={Jovanović, Mladen and Vescovi, Jason}, year={2022}, month={Jul.} }
