Abstract

 Starting from the main functional requirements of the test system, this paper expounds the design concepts of both software and hardware for an electronic shuttle-run test system aimed at athletes, along with the key technical principles and implementation methods involved. The system employs an STM32 microprocessor for overall control, accurately measures an athlete’s shuttle-run performance, and presents the results prominently on a running recorder. It not only eliminates human errors inherent in manual timing but also transmits the data wirelessly to a PC host for further statistical analysis.
