  • Page 23: Introduction

    SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide INTRODUCTION The following guide is designed to provide SMARTSPEED users with a detailed overview of the wide range of protocols and protocol options. Each protocol has a range of user options, which are located on the “OPTIONS” tab during your session. Exploring the various options for each protocol is an excellent way to get to know the system and create a wide range of variations for training and testing.

    2. Algorythm ON/OFF – allows you to turn off SMARTSPEED’s Error Correction Processing function 3. Show Winner – when running multiple lanes, ticking this option will cause the system to show the winner of each subsession by flashing the lights and or sounding the buzzers on the fastest athlete’s lane.

    SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide ITEM DESCRIPTION R.Time Reaction time (seconds) Split Individual split results (seconds) Total Total time (seconds) FREE TIMING MODE DESCRIPTION Free timing provides complete freedom with your test design, as it does not require athletes to run through the gates in a set order.

  • Page 28: Chute Protocol

    (for example a cross country race, 3km run or even a marathon) and when they come to the finish, they run into a finish “chute”. Each chute consists of two SMARTSPEED or SMARTSPEED LITE gates. The first gate times the athlete, and the second gate is used to register the athlete to the time, using RFID.
  • Page 29 SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide 2. After running through to finish, the athletes line up in order in their chute 3. In turn, each athlete swipes their RFID wrist band. If successful, the unit will beep. The athlete’s time and name have then been saved 4.

  • Page 30: Track Return (Interval) Protocols - Smartspeed And Smartspeed Lite

    Track return protocols used a fixed PERIOD method (i.e. if the period is 30 seconds, and the athlete sprints for 6 seconds, they then have the remaining 24seconds to recover). This method allows SMARTSPEED to run up to 8 lanes at the same time on one PDA, as all lanes can run off the same master countdown clock.
  • Page 31 SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide Several user options are available in Track Return mode – 1. Break algorithm on/off – as per standard timing 2. Manually adjust each period – the length of each period can be individually adjusted, in addition to what you have configured in the protocol.

  • Page 32: Cuts (Smartspeed Or Hybrid Systems Only)

    CUTS (SMARTSPEED OR HYBRID SYSTEMS ONLY) Cutting drills are the first family of SMARTSPEED drills to use reactive sound and/or light signals to challenge agility, decision making, peripheral vision, reactive change of direction, evasion and visual and/or audio reaction time.

  • Page 37: Reactive Shuttle Interval Drill

    This protocol is unique in that it is the first protocol to trial the “kill time” concept, which due to its popularity will soon be introduced into a range opf other SMARTSPEED protocols. PROCEDURE (5 GATE VARIATION PICTURED) 1.
  • Page 38 SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide NEW PROTOCOL SETTINGS: The default drill variation is designed for 5 gates – one ‘home’ gate (either a normal gate or gate with SMARTJUMP mat or SMARTSHOXX sensor attached), and 4 reactive gates. Other variations of the drill can be configured by creating a “new protocol”.

  • Page 40 SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide 2. Number of Gates per Track: sets the number of gates you would like to use for the protocol. One gate will be required as the “home” gate, and then add the number of reactive gates. For example, a version with 4 gates would have 1 home gate and 3 reactive gates.

  • Page 41: Serpentine Drills (Smartspeed Or Hybrid Systems Only)

    SMARTSPEED and SMARTSPEED LITE Advanced Protocol Guide SERPENTINE DRILLS (SMARTSPEED OR HYBRID SYSTEMS ONLY) Serpentine Drills are designed to test and train reactions to central visual cues during sprinting and are ideal in all sports where athletes must react to athletes in front of them. As an athlete moves through a course of gates, they must react to central visual cues and change direction or perform specific activities.

  • Page 42: Grid Drills

    GRID DRILLS (4 AND 6 GATE; SMARTSPEED SYSTEMS ONLY DESCRIPTION The patented GRID drills are perhaps the most popular SMARTSPEED drill family. The GRID involves multiple reactive movements and changes of direction to test agility, peripheral vision and skills. GRID drills range from single player challenges to drills involving whole teams.

  • Page 43: Lap Drills (Smartspeed And Smartspeed Lite Systems)

    (therefore completing a lap or laps). The SMARTSPEED software arrives pre-installed with three standard lap protocols. These include lap interval drill, pro agility drill and standard lap timing.
  • Page 44 2. Algorythm ON/OFF – allows you to turn off SMARTSPEED’s Error Correction Processing function 3. Gate Rearm delay – allows you to control when the gate will rearm after it is broken. This is especially useful when you have multiple runners on he track, but only want to measure the first runner.

  • Page 45: Lap Interval Drills

    There are two user configurable options when running the protocol – 1. Algorythm ON/OFF – allows you to turn off SMARTSPEED’s Error Correction Processing function 2. Gate Rearm delay – allows you to control when the gate will rearm after it is broken. This is especially useful when you have multiple runners on he track, but only want to measure the first runner.

  • Page 46: Pro Agility Drill

    DESCRIPTION The Pro Agility drill (also known as the 5-10-5 shuttle) is a popular test of planned agility used in many sports. Due to its popularity this has been hard-coded in SMARTSPEED as a standard protocol. The protocol involves one gate per track. The athlete starts at the gate, runs around a marker/cone, back through the gate, around another marker/cone and back through the gate again to finish.

This is especially useful when you have multiple runners on he track, but only want to measure the first runner.

    PLEASE NOTE – the sampling period must be set when user creates a new protocol (see picture to the right) Smartspeed splits the tapping duration into a number of sampling periods so users are able to study the tapping frequencies, flight time and contact time and the tapping coefficient (tapping frequency/ contact time per second) of athletes over the tapping period.
