Summary of Contents for Exsurgo gFlight

  • Page 1 User Manual Rev. 180306...
  • Page 2 The gFlight is comprised of two components The component on the left of two shown in the picture is the display component. This component has an “on/off switch”, the display screen for jump metrics and a sensor. The component on the right of the two shown in the picture simply acts as a sensor.
  • Page 3 Powering On The display side (Figure 1) is turned on by pressing the red button. The other side (Figure 2) is turned on by pressing the red button. Figure 1 Figure 2 They should click and be locked on.
  • Page 4 When the sensors are properly lined up, simply breaking the beam (tapping your hand, feet or taking a small hop) will register and the metrics will appear on the gFlight display. Set the units 24” -36” inches apart. Test as outlined above.

  • Page 5: Foot Placement

    Foot Placement Line up your pinky toes with the sensors. You may want to take a small hop before you take your first jump. This will test to make sure the sensors are lined up properly.
  • Page 6 Landing Landings need to be consistent. If you land outside of the sensors, the jump will not register. We have found that a couple of practice jumps or adding a visual landing marker can help limit the error.
  • Page 7 Metrics The G-Flight will provide you with four metrics -IN: inches -CM: centimeters -GCT: ground contact time MS -RSI: Product of Height v GCT Each will be elaborated on in the following pages.
  • Page 8 Jump Height (in) Time in air is measured in milliseconds. This metric is used to help calculate jump height which is then displayed as INCHES.
  • Page 9 Jump Height (cm) Jump height is measured in centimeters. Jump height is derived from the time in air metric (ms). It is most accurate when landings are takeoffs are consistent.
  • Page 10 Ground Contact Time Ground contact time (GCT) The length of time one’s feet are on the ground preceding the jump. Typically only useful for continuous movements (i.e depth jumps, hops, or bounds)
  • Page 11 Reactive Strength Index Reactive strength index (RSI) is derived from ground contact time and jump height. It is a composite score used to measure the level of “reactive strength”. It was developed at the Australian Institute of Sport and more information can be easily found on the web.

  • Page 12: Best Practices

    Best practices The gFlight is best used indoors (sun interference outside). The gFlight needs to be lined up properly (sensors facing each other) to get the best range. 24” to 36” depending on ambient light. The gFlight metrics will be best if landings are takeoffs are controlled.

  • Page 13: Warranty

    Warranty The gFlight has a warranty against production defects. So if you receive it and it doesn't turn on, we will take back the old one, send a new one once we go through some troubleshooting. What we do not cover is this: If you smash it, jump on it, slam it, drop a weight on it, dunk it in water, take it apart, blow it up, launch it into space, we do not cover that.
