ing. IPAD APPLICATION ABOUT THE SYSTEM GETTING STARTED ON THE FIELD OVERVIEW HOW IT WORKS WHAT IT MEASURES CHECK WIFI Make sure your iPad is connected to the Base Station WiFi network. Name of the WiFi starts with bs2-.... LOGGING IN Log into the app with the user name and password you created on the miCoach web site. Each iPad must be signed in with a different user name. CHECK THE STATUS Check the status indicators to make sure all connections and sensors are working. miCoach 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. miCoach Elite Team system uses state of the art sensor technologies along with compact electronics, specialized fabrics/
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. miCoach Elite represents the latest ad-
vancement in performance monitoring. 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:
Provide real-time insights during training
Track total training impact and ben-
e ts
Simplify the collection and manage-
ment of data
Add exibility with a highly portable system 34 7 ABOUT THE SYSTEM CENTRAL WEB SYSTEM METRICS HEART RATE During 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. SPEED 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. POWER 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 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 ef ciency of an athlete. Athletes that are putting out more work per heart beat are in bet-
ter condition. ENTER YOUR ATHLETES Create an athlete pro le for each play-
er. Set threshold values for the various metrics. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SETTINGS Select your metric preferences. BUILD YOUR SCHEDULE Add games, practice and rest days. Cre-
ate training session plans and add drills. SYNC WITH THE BASE STATION A base station sync is done by connect-
ing the base station to the web. A con-
rmation of the sync can be found at the top of the web pages. 8 33 CENTRAL WEB SYSTEM ABOUT THE SYSTEM GETTING STARTED ON THE WEB METRICS DISTANCE The 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. ACCELERATION / DECELERATION These measures are critical in sports where rapid change of direction is re-
quired. Understanding the rate and frequency of accelerations and decel-
erations is an important part of overall training load. FIELD POSITION This allows a coach to see where the athletes have been on the eld giving insight into tactical movements of the players. PREPARATION Before using the miCoach system for a training session, you must perform multiple steps via the miCoach elite web app. The app is intuitive and will guide you through the following steps. CREATE USER ACCOUNTS Enter pro les and set up access levels for users. DEFINE ZONES AND LOAD WEIGHTS Enter pro les and set up access levels for users.

Each athlete is out tted with a me-
dium compression base layer that works with the Cell. Specialized bers are integrated into the base layer to transmit data to the Cell. The base layer is available in a range of sizes for optimum t and accurate data collection. The Cell rests between the shoulder blades so it does not interfere with training or game play. COMPONENTS OVERVIEW HEART RATE SENSORS Sensors detect and read athletes heart rate. 15 COMPONENTS OVERVIEW BASE STATION LEDS T-SHIRT SENSOR CONNECTORS Best 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 t using height and weight. Consult the sizing chart. FIT The heart rate sensors on the front of the Tech t elite smart shirt must lay at on the rib cage and not shift around as the athlete moves. This is most effectively accomplished when the smart shirt ts like a second skin. Athletes may request a larger shirt but if the sensors do not t at on the chest wall, they will not collect data consistently. It is also important that the Tech t elite smart shirt be the base layer. The sensors must make contact with the skin to record heart rate. STARTUP 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 signi cantly. Do not use more than 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. 16 Centimeters 90 95 100 105 110 80 85 X-Small Small Medium Large X-Large 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 Inches Height (inches) 60 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84

SHIRT ASSIGNMENT A speci c Tech t elite smart shirt can be assigned to a player or a different shirt can be used in each session. This is the kit managers choice.There is a writable label at the back inside hem of the shirt to assign a player to a speci c smart shirt or identify each garment for tracking purposes. REMOVING THE SMART SHIRT Since the Tech t elite smart shirt ts like a second skin, it can be more dif cult to remove than a loosely tting shirt, especially after a workout. Do not pull from the neckline. 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. CARE INSTRUCTIONS
