Defensive Agility Drill
Description:
The 505 Agility Drill is a commonly used test of agility. The drill tests
the ability of a player to reverse direction quickly.
Layout:
Protocol:
The players are required to run forwards, touch the cone with one
hand, and run back through the gate.
Variations:
• Player touches with either left or right hand
• Player stays facing forward as they run back through the gate
• Player must negotiate around the cone with equipment (e.g.
dribbling a ball)
• Player must go around the gate instead of touching it
• Make a tackle
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
4 Gate Lap Drill
Description:
The 4 Gate lap drill is a generic protocol allowing training in
endurance, speed or combinations of both.
Layout:
Protocol:
The players are required to run around the lap for the desired time or
distance.
Variations:
• Player touches with either left or right hand
• Player stays facing forward as they run back through the gate
• Player must negotiate around the cone with equipment (e.g.
dribbling a ball)
• Player must go around the gate instead of touching it
• Make a tackle
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Applications: Straight Lane Mode
Straight Lane Protocols
In straight lane configurations each lane is independent of the other. The player runs
straight through the lane until they pass through the last gate.
Variables
• Number of lanes
• Number of gates in each lane
• Type of start
• Number of sub-sessions within a session
• Rest between sub sessions
Name:
Standing 40m Sprint Standing 20m Sprint
Description:
The standing 40m sprint is a commonly used test of speed in many
sports. An intermediate split time over 10m is used to assess
acceleration, while the total time is used to reflect overall speed.
Layout:
NOTE: 2 lane
setup shown
Protocol:
• The athletes start from a crouched position with the forward-most
toe on a line that is 50 cm back from the line of the photo beam
• The player starts when ready and sprints maximally the entire
40m distance.
• Typically each player would complete 3 trials of this protocol, and
the best result would be chosen for data analysis purposes.
Variations:
• Running with a ball or piece of equipment in hand
• Running Backwards
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
• Running sideways (i.e. can-can style)
Data Analysis
The key data for the standing 40m sprints are –
• The standing 10m time
• The rolling 30m time
• The standing 40m time (total time)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
Standing 20m Sprint
Description:
The standing 20m sprint is a commonly used test acceleration and
sport specific speed. An intermediate split time over 5m and also
10m is used to assess acceleration, while the total time is used to
reflect overall speed.
Layout:
NB: 1 lane
setup shown
Protocol:
• The athletes start from a crouched position with the forward-
most toe on a line that is 50 cm back from the line of the
photo beam
• The player starts when ready and sprints maximally the entire
20m distance, aiming to achieve top speed by 15m.
• Typically each player would complete 3 trials of this protocol,
and the best result would be chosen for data analysis
purposes.
Variations:
• Running with a ball or piece of equipment in hand
• Running Backwards
• Running sideways (i.e. can-can style)
• Running in a zig zag format.
Data Analysis
• The key data for the standing 40m sprints are –
• The standing 10m time
• The rolling 30m time (b minus a)
• The standing 40m time (total time)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
Modified Phosphate Decrement Test
Description:
The phosphate decrement test is a commonly used test of speed
endurance in team sport players. The original protocol (Jenkins,
1993) involved 8 sprints over a 35m distance. The current protocol,
however, has been modified to a 40m distance to allow comparison
with standing 40m sprint times.
Layout:
NOTE: 3 lane
setup shown
Protocol:
• The test involves 8 x 40m sprints, with one sprint being
performed every 30 seconds.
• A player is given the command to sprint (this is done using the
lights), upon which they sprint from point A to Point B on the
diagram above.
• The player has the remainder of 30 seconds to rest, before then
being commanded to sprint from point A to point B. This cycle is
then repeated 4 times for a total of 8 sprints
• Eventually we would want to be able to run two players in one
lane. To accomplish this, the second player begins the test 15
seconds after the first player.
Variations:
The test could be performed carrying equipment such as a ball.
Data Analysis
For each player, the following data will be displayed:
• Fastest sprint time
• Slowest sprint time
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
• The average of the 8 sprint times
APPLICATIONS: TREE MODE
Tree Protocols
Tree protocols utilise the reactive lights to stimulate changes in direction (known as “cutting”).
Generic Tree Setup
In tree mode the user should be able to select from 1 to 5 lanes, depending on the size of the
system.
Tree drills should be able to start with either an auto start or traffic light start.
The structure of a tree should be configurable in its number of rows and the number of gates in
each row. For example, the following tree has 3 rows, and is in 1-3-2 configuration.
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
Single Cut Tree Protocol
Description:
The single cut tree protocol is used to assess/train the ability of a
player to react during sprinting and make a single decision/direction
change.
Layout:
Protocol:
• The athlete starts from behind the start line
• When signalled by the trigger gate, the athlete sprints as
quickly as possible through the trigger gate
• As the athlete crosses the trigger gate, either the left or right
lights flashes to command the athlete to run through that gate
(see important note below on Lag time algorithm)
• This is a stand-alone protocol, however would usually be
used as detailed in the following example below.
• Therefore perhaps at the start of the protocol, the coach
could enter the number of repetitions to be performed by
each player.
Variations:
• The player could be made to carry equipment such as a ball
• Defender runs at timed player
• Position of end gates moved
• Obstacles placed in path of timed player
Data Analysis
For a single sprint, the following data would be generated –
• 10-metre pre-trigger sprint time
• Mean velocity over 10-metre pre-trigger segment (m/s)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
• 10-metre cutting sprint time
• Mean velocity over cutting sprint segment (m/s)
• Total time over 20 metres
• Mean Velocity over whole sprint (m/s)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
Double Cut Tree Protocol
Description:
The double cut tree protocol is used to assess/train the ability of a
player to react during sprinting and make two decisions/direction
changes.
Layout:
Protocol:
• The athlete starts from behind the start line
• When signalled by the trigger gate, the athlete sprints as
quickly as possible through the trigger gate
• As the athlete crosses the trigger gate, either the left or right
lights flashes to command the athlete to run through that gate
(see important note below on Lag time algorithm)
• This is a stand-alone protocol, however would usually be
used as detailed in the following example below.
• Therefore perhaps at the start of the protocol, the coach
would enter the number of repetitions to be performed by
each player.
Variations:
• The player could be made to carry equipment such as a ball
• Defender runs at timed player
• Position of end gates moved
• Obstacles placed in path of timed player
Data Analysis
For a single sprint, the following data would be generated –
• 10-metre pre-trigger sprint time
• Mean velocity over 10-metre pre-trigger segment (m/s)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
• 10-metre cutting sprint time
• Mean velocity over cutting sprint segment (m/s)
• Total time over 20 metres
• Mean Velocity over whole sprint (m/s)
Graphical
Display
• A stacked bar graph showing the two segment times adding
to give the total sprint time
• The mean velocity for either segment or the whole sprint
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
APPLICATIONS: SERPENTINE MODE
Serpentine Protocols
Serpentine protocols use straight lane configurations but use the reactive lights to stimulate
athletes to change direction. Unlike the tree protocols, serpentine lanes may be reversible (i.e.
the athlete runs in both directions).
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
4 gate Serpentine Protocol
Description:
The 4 gate serpentine protocol requires the athlete to make 3 reactive
decisions while sprinting through a lane of 4 gates.
Layout:
Protocol:
• Traffic light start signals Blue to start the player
• Player sprints through first gate, at which time the next gate
signals green (left), red (right) or straight ahead (blue)
• The player continues to weave through the course until all
gates are completed
• This protocol may be stand-alone, multiple repetition, or
reversible (such as the Phosphate decrement test)
Variations:
• The player could be made to carry equipment such as a ball
• Add obstacles for timed player
• Distance of cut
Data Analysis
• The progressive time at each gate
• The total time for each segment
• The total time for the trial
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
APPLICATIONS: GRID MODE
Grid Protocols
Grid protocols can be used for a variety of team and individual drills to train/test endurance or
team offence and defensive work. We should say that this one is only available to customers with
a 6-gate set and 4-gate set.
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
6 Point Grid
Description:
The 6 gate grid protocol requires players to follow their assigned colour
around and through the gates.
Layout:
Protocol:
• In this protocol three players (X, Y, and Z) are each denoted
a colour.
• The goal is that players must continually “chase” their
coloured light
• As they run through the gate that was last illuminated,
another one is turned on
• The protocol could be set to either make them go for a set
time or a set distance
• In the demo, we will go for a total of 5 minutes, and measure
the distance completed
Variations:
• The player could be made to carry equipment such as a ball
to pass onto others
• Obstacles for players
• Defensive and offensive team
Data Analysis
• Total distance covered (m)
• Total number of gates
• Mean velocity (ms-1)
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Name:
4 Point Grid
Description:
The 4 gate grid protocol requires players to follow their assigned colour
around and through the gates.
Layout:
Protocol:
• In this protocol two players (X, Y) are each denoted a colour.
• The goal is that players must continually “chase” their
coloured light
• As they run through the gate that was last illuminated,
another one is turned on
• The protocol could be set to either make them go for a set
time or a set distance
• Time run is set by coach and measurement of the distance
completed occurs
Variations:
• The player could be made to carry equipment such as a ball
to pass onto others
• Obstacles for players
• Defensive and offensive team
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode

SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Exposure to Radio-Frequency Energy
This System meets Australian Communications Authority (ACA) requirements
concerning exposure to radio waves. These requirements are also met in New Zealand,
Japan and the United Kingdom.
Precautions When Using Batteries
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time
• Always charge in or as close to room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) as
extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of the batteries
• If Batteries will not recharge (batteries provided have a recharge life of 800
times), DO NOT ATTEMPT to change the batteries yourself. Instead contact your
local service provider.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from the units.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum of 15cm should be maintained
between the units and a pacemaker.
Hearing
Some wireless technology can interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
Other Medical Devices
If you use other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your Physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch of all units in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off all units while at a refueling point (service station). Users
are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.
They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
APPENDIX
Care and Maintenance
• Keep the system (all its parts and accessories) out of the reach of small children
• Do not store the system in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may be
damaged.
SMARTSPEED User Guide Chapter 5 – Applications: Lap Mode
• Do not store the system in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean any
part of the system or accessories. Wipe with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a
mild soap-and-water solution
• Do not paint any part of the system of accessories.
• Do not put the system or any of its accessories in or on heating devices such as
microwave ovens, a stove or a radiator.
• If the system or accessories is not working properly contact your local service
provider. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for
service.
• Do not let your system become fully flat. If this does occur charge the units for 3
minutes. Take out the charger points and replace. Repeat this 3 times and then
let the system fully recharge.
• To keep your system operating at an optimum level recharge your units and PDA
after every session. To recharge your units connect them to the recharge packs.
A red LED should flash until they are fully charged. If, however, your system is
nearly fully discharged then after approximately 4 hours take out the recharge
points and re-insert them. For recharging your PDA see the information booklet
in the IPAQ box.
• Do not keep your units charging for more than 36 hours at a time as this can
decrease their battery life.
