Well you are half way there.
Read the study, ******.
"The majority of the time difference between the FAT and Hand timed 40 yard comes from the inherent human delay of starting the timer after the athlete initiates the run. In other words, the athlete will have started the run before the coach can depress the start button."
Quit cherry picking segments from the document. Here is a quote from the conclusion of that "study"
"The 1.75 +- 0.075 second variance should be considered if hand timing is being used for ranking athletes."
I know this is probably hard for you to comprehend but the "+-" part means that hand times can be either faster or slower.
And I know that this might be REALLY hard for YOU to comprehend, but the 0.075 part is a lot less than the 1.75 part (which is probably supposed to be 0.175, like it is everywhere else, but again the point remains the same).
0.175 +/- 0.075 means that the amount of the hand-timing error can vary from 0.1 to 0.25 seconds. I was being generous giving you the average (0.175).
Go to bed...the short bus will be picking you up for school in a few hours.
Sorry kid. That is not what the study said.
Your logic in this porst indicates that hand timing would NEVER result in a time that is faster than the actual run.
The study says quite plainly otherwise.
Um, no, it doesn't. Look at Figure 3, kid.
