Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2017047205A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a method of measuring or determining a reaction time of an athlete in a start time of a race.SOLUTION: A method of the invention can measure a reaction time of an athlete in a start time of a race by using an individualized transponder module (1) which is at a position of the athlete, and a base station (10). The transponder module comprises a reception unit (3), a processor (4), a transmission unit (5) for transmitting a data signal, and motion sensors (7,8) for supplying a measurement signal to the processor. The transponder module is activated by a received wakeup signal, and motion is measured by the sensors in a start time of a race. The data signal is transmitted to the base station, then a reaction time of the athlete in a start time of the race is determined, and if the reaction time after the start signal, is less than a prescribed threshold value time, it is determined that the start of the athlete is a potential dishonest start.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
