Space the four light/switch targets to form a large triangle. The height of the triangle should be 3/4 of the width. A fifth light/switch target is used as a fixation target. The targets should be plugged into their respective jack connectors. Trainee must fixate on the center target, depress the target light, and then press the peripheral light. This is repeated for each of the target lights. Timed for 200 seconds (the "center" light must be used). FIGURE 4

Two infra-red sensors, or one infra-red sensor and one foot switch can be used. Place the sensors an "x" distant apart. When using the foot switch pad the athlete must stand on the first switch pad, which is plugged into the left connector jack. The infra-red sensor beam is plugged into the right connector jack.(use the short interface cable) On the ice rink, use the two IR-sensors. Plug the first sensor into the left connector jack, and the second sensor into the right connector jack. (note. If the intercepted beam must reach more then 5 feet, it will be necessary that a reflector be used on the opposite side of the track). After the first sensor is activated, the display will record the time that the second sensor is activated. To calculate the speed in miles/hr, use the following formula: Speed in miles/hr = "x" distance(ft)/time(sec)*(0.6818). The speed in miles/hr is the spacing between sensors, divided by the displayed time in seconds, multiplied by the number 0.6818. Figure 7

Speed trac can be mounted on a wall using the mounting holes on one side. Align speed trac horizontally while marking the mounting holes with pencil. Hammer small headless nails in line with the marks. The speed trac can now be easily placed on the nails, and can be removed from the wall when needed. Mount the "reset/start" button high on a wall. The height will require a vertical jump with out-stretched hand. The athlete initiates the speed trac by jumping and striking the "reset/start" button. Immediately the athlete must step back a set distance so that the complete speed trac is visable. The green light on the trac will flash "on and off"; after a short delay, the lights will speed across the speed trac. The athlete must now run up to the wall and jump up to strike the reset/start target button. The goal, is to anticipate when the lights will reach end of trac, and to stop the light before it returns to the opposite side of the trac.The display will record the anticipation accuracy. Random speed 5-20 mph ; "pitch" delay 4-7 seconds Figure 5

One light will flash "on" signalling trainee to depress this lite button. The same light will flash once again followed immediately by a second light. Trainee must then depress both lights in the sequence they occured and then a third light will appear. Trainee must depress the first light, the second light and the third light in sequence and continues with this sequencing. A point will be recorded for each correct sequence. 500 lites/minute. If trainee does not follow sequence of lights correctly within three seconds, the lights will automatically appear in the correct sequence illuminating all the lights including the last light in the sequence. Trainee can continue only when he correctly repeats the sequence. Figure 2

Starting speed 100 lites/minute, timed for 60 sec. After each correct response, the light speed increases slightly. After each missed light, the light speed will decrease slowly. The final displayed score will be the product of the final speed of the lights multiplied by the number of correct responses. Maximum score 10,000. Program must be reselected after each test, otherwise the final speed of the light will be the new starting light speed. Figure 2

This uses the Speed-Trac anticipator and the Infra-Red Sensor. Random variable speed 25 to 40 mph. "Pitch" delay 1 to 4 seconds. It is recommended that the speed-trac be placed on a table at least 30 inches above the floor. The speed-trac can also be hung horizontally oh the wall using the punched small holes. Adjust the sensitivity of the infra-red sensor beam according to the instructions in the manual. Test the sensor by swinging the bat (racket or hand) no closer than 12 inches and no further than five feet from the top of the sensor (if a reflector is used, the response range can be over 20 feet). An auditory tone is produced when the sensor has been correctly adjusted. Connect the speed-trac to the computer connection on the rear of the unit. The infra-red sensor is plugged into the connector on the speed trac. Refer to detailed instruction manual. To reset the speed trac, swing through the beam in a reverse direction. The yellow light at the opposite end of the trac (simulating the pitcher's mound) will start flashing "on & off". Swing the bat (racket or hand) the instant the lights speed (ball) toward you. The moving light will freeze at the instant the bat (racket or hand) interupts the sensor beam. The last light on the trac should freeze if the bat (racket or hand) connected at the proper time. If the light freezes before reaching the front light, then the anticipation and the swing were too early. This "early" anticipation and the time will be recorded on the display. If the beam is intercepted after the "ball" passes over the plate the light will freeze in the top area of the trac. The display will record a "late" anticipation. (Note: if the red led is illuminated on the center of the trac, it would indicate that the ball is off the scale, and the time is meaningless.) Figure 5

Two foot switch pads are used. The foot switch pads should be spaced apart a broad jump distance. The trainee is instructed to crouch, and place one foot on the pad marked "set/reset". On signal quickly jump to the second switch pad marked "right". The display will record 2 alternating readings.The reading with a period in the right hand corner of the display is the response time (time in the air jumping to the second switch pad) the second reading is the actual time in miliseconds trainee required to leave the crouch position and rise off the switch pad. Note - if trainee's foot is not initially on the first switch pad a buzzing will signal this error. Many other test and activities can be designed using this reaction plus response program. I.e., use 2 light switches, use the ir sensor, etc. Stand on the foot switch pads and run or kick through the ir sensor beam, stand in front of the beam and on signal move to another sensor. Stand on a foot switch,and jump up to a basket, etc. Figure 3
