Welcome to SMARTfit™ Functional and Brain Fitness

Training Games

Introduction

The fundamental goal of any fitness program is to help prepare individuals for the challenges of

the twenty-first century by providing the core skills and knowledge for them to be physically

active as part of a healthy lifestyle. SMARTfit™ Functional and Brain Fitness Training Games

merges cognitive and fitness training with gameplay providing a fun and engaging

multifunctional workout for SGT, Group X and personal training.

SMARTfit™ works for all ages and abilities. Using sophisticated interactive computer technology,

SMARTfit™ training sessions are based on games that naturally promote fun, social interaction,

and exercise in a venue that requires active participation and develops successful team play.

SMARTfit’s diverse programming is designed to make fitness and sports training more fun,

engaging, challenging, and inclusive than traditional forms of training. Following are tips to assist

you in understanding your SMARTfit™ and making it successful in your facility.

SMARTfit™ System Manual

If you come up with a drill that is NOT posted on the channel, please capture it via smart phone

and send it to us so that we can post it. We are aiming to build a library of ideas to share with

teachers and trainers from all sectors.

This manual addresses games available for the SMARTfit™ Trainer Single (9 targets), the Trainer

Mini (5 or 9 targets), and the combo system of Single or Mini with wired or wireless pods:

The SMARTfit™ Trainer Single is a system incorporating one 92” X 46” station with 9 targets

and a CPU that houses a scoreboard, time clock and sound system.

The SMARTfit™ Trainer Mini is a system incorporating one 46” X 46” station with 5 or 9 targets

and a CPU that houses a scoreboard, time clock and sound system.

The SMARTfit Combo – The SMARTfit Single and Mini are both capable of operating in

conjunction with either wired or wireless pods.

Each drill has a specific purpose and numerous skill

benefits. We suggest each drill be repeated three

times:

First, to LEARN the drill and get used to

working together as a team.

Second, to PRACTICE to improve both

individually and as a team.

Third, to CHALLENGE participants to achieve their best score, and to compare their

scores with previous best scores or competitors.

Number of participants:

Drills are designed to engage up to 8 participants. Smaller groups may be advisable to

make drills faster and more challenging for those with greater ability levels. Some of

the drill variations may also be used to accomplish the same.

For larger groups, we suggest fast moving relays

involving running or ball throwing and catching

round-the-world style. For slower moving drills,

such as those that require a player to spend up to

twenty seconds at the station, we recommend that

players toward the back of the line be involved in

a simple physical activity to keep them active

while still rooting for their team. Examples include

running in place, jumping in place, jumping jacks,

push-ups, skipping, and sit-ups.

Setting Your SMARTfit™ System Game Times and Playing Distances for

a Specific Concept or Skill Emphasis

Cardio Respiratory

Longer time periods of play: 60 seconds to 240 seconds depending on the size of the group

Move start line farther back: 10’ or more up to 30.'

Have team relays for longer periods of time: 120 seconds to 240 seconds

Have players in line to perform exercises while waiting for their turn

Cognitive

Longer time periods of play: 60 seconds to 240 seconds depending on the size of the group

Use games that track numbers, letters, colors and pictures as well as memory, pairing and

sequencing games

Track the Target Challenge Games

Counting Games

Word Games

Alpha Games

Pairing Games

Tracking Games - Color Chase, Number Chase, etc.

Have team relays for longer periods of time: 120 seconds to 240 seconds

Have players in line assist team mates by helping them to find answers

Speed/Agility

Shorter time periods of play: 60 seconds or less

Include changes in speeds and directions when travelling to the stations/targets: fast to slow

and forward to backward, lateral to the right one direction and to the left the other

Use bean bags and have players sprint up to retrieve the beanbag and sprint back to start line

Move start line closer to station for quick returns and reaction times with ball games

Establish multiple start lines; “suicide” drills

Use speed ladders, cones or poly spots in pathway to the stations

Skill/Accuracy

Chase games using one active target with a ball: Intermediate to Advanced level

All activities in Games: Knock the Lights Out

Ball games with or without a bounce on the return

Activities that deduct points for misses or hits below the line

Core Stabilization

Replace playground balls with a 2 lb. medicine ball

Have players stand on BOSU ball or balance board to throw balls or touch targets with hands

Have players perform sit-ups while tossing medicine ball to targets

How to Organize Your Group for a Class on SMARTfit™ System

The workouts in this manual are designed for both individual and group trainers. For group

training, it is essential to plan and organize the group quickly in order to get players into action

as soon as the lesson starts.

Additional Tips

The equipment list for each drill is per station. You can substitute as desired, using equipment

on hand to complement the ball kit shipped with each SMARTfit™ Trainer system.

We strongly recommend reading the operating instructions in Chapter 2 of this manual to

familiarize yourself with the system before you begin. We have provided both individual lesson

plans to create your own workouts, and complete workout programs that include lesson plans

grouped for specific outcomes. All activities can be adapted for any age and any skill level.

SMARTfit™ Conditioning for the Mind and Body: How It Works

SMARTfit™ Training is a functional training and fitness program appropriate for all ages and

fitness levels. The brain and body connection is the key element that differentiates a functional

training program from a general conditioning program, and SMARTfit™ programs are specifically

designed to stimulate the body and the brain concurrently. This is accomplished by:

• Attracting participation and engaging sustained focus with short attention-grabbing

computer games, played sequentially in the pursuit of score and mastery of skills

• Providing full body exercise by stimulating the hands, feet, eyes, ears and vestibular

system in playing real games with real tactile equipment (NOT simulated)

• Requiring high levels of attention and focus for success (staying consciously in-the-

now)

• Engaging in cognitive decision-making under pressure

• Delivering a cardiovascular workout in a game format

SMARTfit’s programming improves functional abilities (flexibility, balance, power, strength)

while concurrently developing high levels of cognitive and neuromuscular efficiency. This

process of engaging the hands, feet, ears, and eyes develops visual-perceptual motor skills. The

added element of integration of the right and left brain hemispheres has been well-documented

to enhance brain plasticity as well as whole brain thinking, cognition, attention and focus for

learning.

Chapter 2

Getting to Know Your SMARTfit™ Combo

Groups who want teamwork and fun with as much movement and

participation as possible will appreciate and enjoy the SMARTfit™ Trainer.

Up to 8 people can play with minimum wait time. Each player will be “in

action” for much of playing time. All targets can display colors, numbers,

letters, symbols, shapes and more.

Recommended Floor Markings:

Use of the space in front of your SMARTfit™ panels can add options to your

program. Many of our lesson plans include the use of speed/agility ladders,

poly spots, cones, and pre-taped lines set at specific distances in front of the

SMARTfit™ system. We recommend taping, painting or incorporating into

the existing floor the following: Ladder a minimum of 16’ long and 2’ wide,

divided into 2’ squares. Center each ladder at the base of each Station. Place

start lines at 5,’ 10,’ 15’ and 20.’

Chapter 3

System Start-up, Settings, and Operation

The system CPU

The system CPU houses the systems controller, electronic boards, sound system, speakers, time

clock, scoreboard, touch key interface for making game and systems selections, and the power

supply.

Power On/Off

The on/off switch is located on the left side of the CPU near the power connect cord. When

powering on, the system will take 30 seconds to check that all components are working properly.

Please DO NOT TOUCH any part of the system during this check or your system will display an

error message. If this occurs, simply turn the system off, wait for 10 seconds, then restart.

User Name

The user name is used to access the SUITE button to create a program lesson design.

Scoreboard

The scoreboard displays up to four digits of score.

Time Clock

The time clock displays 4 digits of time including tenths during the final ten second countdown

of a game.

The system 16-digit alpha numeric interface and keypad

The system Interface provides a line of information that is used to navigate the system options.

The system keypad is used to make selections to customize the system for use as well as select

games and tailor them. The keypad has five Set Up buttons:

1. SYSTEM: for configuring the system and entering systems options.

2. SUITE: Allows users to plan and save a group of games for easy to use lesson programs.

3. GAME: Allows users to make suite or game choices.

4. Up and Down Arrow keys: Allow users to set system and game options.

5. ENTER: Allows user to cycle through system and game options.

System Configuration and Target Initialization

• When the CPU is turned on, it will go through an initialization process where it will

identify all the active (turned on and addressed) targets. In most cases, it will have been

initialized before it shipped in which case the system start-up process will take you to

the last game that was played.

• Re-initializing is sometimes necessary when starting your system for the first time after

it has been upgraded, or when you want to instruct the CPU to add OR eliminate

wireless pods for the workout session.

• When the CPU firsts turns on, it will allow you to select which configuration you plan to

use and will set the system accordingly. Refer to page 14 under system configuration.
