What’s the Best Way to Test Acceleration in Soccer Players?
In soccer, what wins duels isn’t top speed — it’s the first 5–20 metres. Testing acceleration is more valuable than measuring max velocity, but stopwatches, lasers, and GPS all fall short. Coaches need a system that’s consistent, repeatable, and practical for the training ground.
That’s why more and more soccer programs use Freelap — a portable timing system that delivers accurate 5m, 10m, and 20m splits players can trust.
