Le chronomètre manuel est actionné par une personne qui met le mécanisme en marche au début d'une action et l'arrête à la fin; la fraction de seconde entre le départ réel de l'action et le déclenchement du mécanisme est le même au début et à la fin. Tout sport avec mesure de durée de temps recourt au chronométrage, qu'il soit électronique ou manuel. Un chronomètre électronique s'actionne par le passage dans un faisceau (ski alpin, cyclisme), par déclenchement du pistolet de départ auquel il est lié (natation, athlétisme) ou par déclenchement par l'officiel attitré (mesure de la durée de temps des périodes ou des manches en sports d'équipe ou sports de combat, ou de la longueur d'une prestation en patinage artistique ou en gymnastique); il s'arrête de la même façon ou, dans certains cas, par le toucher de l'athlète sur un panneau électronique au fil d'arrivée (natation). Par mesure de précaution, le chronomètre manuel, dit parfois «chronomètre individuel», est toujours utilisé pour pallier à une défaillance possible du chronomètre électronique; cela demande plus d'officiels mais vaut mieux que l'obligation contestable de devoir reprendre une épreuve pour absence de temps officiel. 5, record 6, French, - chronom%C3%A8tre
