The state-of-the-art system gives ath-letes and teams a powerful, yet easy to use tool to help them achieve and main-tain peak physical performance and gain an edge on their competition.Teams can now accurately plan, mon-itor, analyze and report on the perfor-mance of athletes with one integrated system.The micoach elite Team System is de-signed to perform tasks that aid training and coaching staff, including:miCoach Elite Team system uses state of the art sensor technologies along with compact electronics, specialized fabrics/fi bers and wireless communication to provide non-invasive monitoring of ath-letes in real-time. adidas brings together GPS, inertial sensors, heart rate monitoring, and other technologies along with an un-derstanding of elite athletes and their training and developmental needs. So-phisticated algorithms process millions of data points to bring simple, actionable insights. Provide real-time insights during training Track total training impact and ben-efi ts Simplify the collection and manage-ment of data Add fl exibility with a highly portable systemWHAT IT MEASURESmiCoach elite was designed to take millions of data points and boil them down to simple, intelligent feedback for coaches who want to understand how training is impacting athletes and their performance.
8During a training session, a coach can use the live dashboard to monitor heart rate recovery making sure not to begin the next training interval until the ma-jority of athletes are ready.This is a precise measure of how hard the athlete is working. Power training is widely used in cycling where it has been possible to measure with a meter on the bike. Advanced sensor technology and algorithms in the miCoach elite team system will now enable power to be used in fi eld sports.By combining power and heart rate, coaches now have a complete picture of how hard an athlete is working and how their body is responding to the work. This combination of metrics allows coaches to look at the overall effi ciency of an athlete. Athletes that are putting out more work per heart beat are in bet-ter condition.By monitoring speed, a coach can see if athletes are training at the level that is required to succeed in a game. When a coach plans a speed training session, he can customize the live dashboard to view speed related data including peak speed, average speed, and number of high-intensity sprints. The ability to manage speed training carefully is es-sential to prevent over training and risk of injury.HEART RATE POWER SPEEDABOUT THE SYSTEMMETRICS33CENTRAL WEB SYSTEMAdd games, practice and rest days.

Understanding the rate and frequency of accelerations and decel-erations is an important part of overall training load.This allows a coach to see where the athletes have been on the fi eld giving insight into tactical movements of the players.ACCELERATION / DECELERATION FIELD POSITIONABOUT THE SYSTEMMETRICSThe distance an athlete runs during a game or scrimmage can vary. A re-al-time measure of distance allows a coach to set individual or team targets for distance and ensure that all athletes meet their goals. During or at the end of a scrimmage, a coach can use the live app to check distance covered. Athletes that fall short of the target will continue to train.DISTANCE
10COMPONENTS OVERVIEWBASE STATIONThe Base is a portable receiver that collects data from up to 30 Cells and can transmit that data in real-time to the miCoach Elite Dash via WiFi. Data from three sessions can be stored locally on the Base.When connected to the Internet, the Base uploads data to a team’s secure web server for post-session analysis and reporting. The Base also serves as a storage and charging port for the Cells used with the Team System.The unit is portable, rugged and weather-resistant.31SHUTTING DOWN BASEFORCE SHUTDOWNPress thePower Button for 5 seconds.Base Station will startshutting downimmediately.Using of Force Shutdown is not recommended, to use only when the system is stuck.HARD RESETPress theReset Button on back of the Base Station with a long pin.At fi rst, Power Button will start blinking yellow.

The base layer is available in a range of sizes for optimum fi t and accurate data collection. The Cell rests between the shoulder blades so it does not interfere with training or game play.Sensors detect and read athletes heart rate.
16T-SHIRTCOMPONENTS OVERVIEWSENSOR CONNECTORSFITSTARTUPBest way to know what size to put on a player is to measure the circumfer-ence of his torso under his pectoral muscles.If you do not have access to that measurement you can also estimate the shirt fi t using height and weight. Consult the sizing chart.The heart rate sensors on the front of the Techfi t elite smart shirt must lay fl at on the rib cage and not shift around as the athlete moves. This is most effectively accomplished when the smart shirt fi ts like a second skin.Athletes may request a larger shirt but if the sensors do not fi t fl at on the chest wall, they will not collect data consistently.It is also important that the Techfi t elite smart shirt be the base layer. The sensors must make contact with the skin to record heart rate.Depending on a player unique body chemistry, heart rate may be detected immediately on the Cell. However, many athletes may need a warm up peri-od before the heart rate can be detected.Pre wetting the sensors with tap water or electrogel can help reduce the length of the warm up period signifi cantly.Do not use more than fi ngertip-sized amount of gel to spread over the sen-sor. Too much will cause the sensor to slide around and give a poor signal.Height (inches)Height (cm)Weight (Pounds)Weight (kg)12013014015016017018019020021022023055606570758085909510010560 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 8460 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84SMLXLX-Small32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 4380 85 90 95 100 105 110InchesCentimetersSmallMediumLargeX-Large25BASE STATION LED’SBASE STATION BATTERY LEDNO CHARGINGHard switch is on position ‘0’, to enable power, put the hard Switch to position “I”.DRAINING 100% - 50%Battery is draining, the level is between 100% - 50%, or battery is fully charged.BATTERY CHARGINGBattery level is in accordance with the info above.

Instead, please try one of these suggestions:Pull up from the bottom hem of the shirt and remove, twisting the torso and shoulders as need-ed. Ask another player to pull the shirt over the head while pulling from the back, bottom hem. Remove micoach elite Cell from the pocket on the back of the Techfi t elite smart shirt. Wipe the micoach elite Cell off with a soft, dry cloth and set aside. Wash the Techfi t elite smart shirt as soon as possible after use—at least within a few hours. DO NOT let it sit wet overnight. Machine wash with warm water, laundry detergent and hang dry. Do not bleach, iron the harness area or tumble dry . Air dry completely before packing in a bag.
