1.0 Introduction

This manual refers to the version v1.0 of the Virtual Trainer Multisport package here simply

called Virtual Trainer Multisport or VTM.

1.1 What is Virtual Trainer Multisport

Virtual Trainer Multisport is your training mate, the best aid to improve your athletic

performance in sprint disciplines. The LED light reference, you have to follow, acts as a

pacemaker.

Elite sprinters have such a great acceleration that after 30 meters their speed is already 12

m/s. Of course, the acceleration of a regular sprinter is a little lower. By its mathematical

model VTM allows you to simulate speed progression of any sprinter from beginner to elite

athlete.

The VTM main mode impose the LED light to cover the distance you have chosen in the

desired time, following an adjustable built in acceleration curve. This curve has been obtained

by statistical analysis of data related to a significant number of races performed by both elite

and regular sprinters.

The two additional modes available on VTM are jump/stride and elastic. The former allows to

improve the stride length or frequency. By this function you can set the distance among a

series of LED light spots so you have a reference where the feet have to touch the ground. The

latter provides a LED light moving back and forward alternatively. By this function, that can

be randomly set, the reaction to direction changes can by effectively trained.

1.2 Who is the Virtual Trainer Multisport user

Virtual Trainer Multisport has been designed to provide an aid to those disciplines where

sprint and run performances are crucial. From Track and Field to Soccer and Baseball the

train improvements gained running behind a LED light spot that pulls you at your desired

speed, acceleration and direction are remarkable. Jumping from a point to another driven by

the LED light spot, set at the chosen distance, helps the athletes to become faster and more

powerful. Thus, VTM is advisable in team sports where running speed plays an important rule

like American football, Basket and Rugby. No matter the degree of workout you can develop,

VTM can be set at different levels of difficulty just changing the basic setting.

VTM comes with preloaded setting easily to be uploaded that will satisfy both the amateur

and professional athlete.

2.0 Package description and installation

Virtual Trainer Multisport V1.0 package comes with the Handbag (A) (dimensions about 300

mm width - 250 mm high - 150 mm deep) , the SmartPad (B) (119 x190 mm) and the LED

Strip (C) in a Coil.

The embedded microprocessor unit that drives the LED strip is fed by 12 V internal battery.

The SmartPad is hold on the Handbag and is removable, being operated at the longest

distance of about 15 meters.

On the Handbag internal cover side the USB SmartPad Charger (H1) and the internal 12V

battery Charger (H2) are available.

The internal 12V battery Charger must be

connected to the socket (D) in order to recharge

the system. The Pushbutton (E) allows to switch

ON and OFF the system. It must be switched ON

while the internal 12V battery is under charge. The

VTM can be operated even with the charger

powered.

Once the LED Strip (C) is positioned on the track

field (or wherever) as desired it has to be

connected to the socket (F) by its own plug.

As soon as the LED Strip is connected to the socket

(F) and the VTM is switched ON by the pushbutton

(E) the whole LED strip is lighted. Then, VTM is ready to be operated. The Pushbutton (G)

allows to reset the system and restart immediately the setting.

When the 12V internal battery is charged the led on its Charger (H2) turns green. While

charging its light is red. The charge status of the 12V internal battery is shown on the

SmartPad (B).

Once the battery is charged you can enjoy VTM, free of any wiring to electric power, all day

long. Charger plugs type are according to European standard. Therefore, a power adapting

device is needed if VTM is operated in countries with different standard.

The Handbag is water proof when it is kept closed only. When its cover is opened, water

dropping in can damage the system. Hence, when VTM Handbag is placed open air it must be

protected from rain. Conversely, the LED strip provides water protection degree IP68, so it

can be operated open air under rain condition.

In case of LED strip length longer than 25 meters an auxiliary 12 V battery supply is required

to be applied on the end side of the LED strip. This auxiliary device is provided on the

Handbag cover. So, connect it to the end of LED strip and switch it ON.

NEXT STEP IS TO CONNECT YOUR SMARTPAD as described in next chaper 3.

3.0 SmartPad connection

Once the 12V internal battery is charged, switch the system ON by its pushbutton.

Switch ON your SmartPad. Then, select Setting / Wireless & Network and verify VIRTUAL

TRAINER network connection. If not connected, do establish connection manually, no

password is required. Do not forget to stand in the range of 15 meters from Handbag.

Just select the web browser and automatically you will get the Virtual Trainer Multisport

application running. If not, you can manually start the VTM application by typing on the

browser the address: http://10.10.10.1/sd/tef13/index.php.

NOTE: VTM is addressable and controllable by your own pad or smartphone as well, just

typing the above mentioned address in the browser. After a few seconds the symbol on top

left corner of the VTM application in the SmartPad will turn from not connected to connected

status. Now you can enjoy your Virtual Trainer Multisport.

To operate the VTM by SmartPAD APP you just have to set up the system. You can do that by

loading a previously saved setting or by direct inserting data. The last setting is kept by the

system.

4.1 Setting the VTM

Configuring your Virtual Trainer MultiSport application permits you to exploit its

performances and enjoying the wide range of different workouts that can be carried out.

4.1.1 Color and Buzzer

Select the desired LED strip color by (13) (green, red or blue). Choose whether or not

working with Buzzer by (12).

4.1.2 Time, Distance and Reps

Set the actual DISTANCE that the LED light must cover by (14). Admitted values are

between 5and 100 meters (resolution is 1 meter). Set the TIME to run such a distance

by (8). Admitted values are between 1and 30 seconds (resolution of hundredths of

seconds).

Set the Number of Repeats you want to carry out by (9), admitted values are between

1 and 100, and the REST TIME between two repetitions by (16). This time can be set

between 0.10 and 1200 seconds (resolution of hundredths of seconds).

If the couple of values relevant to DISTANCE and TIME are chosen in nonsense way, i.e.

100 meters in 1 seconds, then “time too short”message will appear in the Message

Area (3).

4.1.3 Saving and loading data

The button Save (4) allows to store all data in a .txt file. The application asks to define a

name for the actual setting to be saved. If an existing name is entered, the old file will

be overwritten without warning. Data can be recovered by the button Load (4). In this

case, the file name must be selected by (6). The existing files can be deleted by button

Delete (4).

All data of the VTM application are stored in the .txt file with the only exception of the

Buzzer selection.

4.1.4 MODE selection

The VTM application version 1.0 can be configured in the following modes:

RUN: the LED light spot is moving according

to the defined acceleration rate (adjustable)

in order to run the desired DISTANCE (14) in

the set TIME (8). Then, the system will wait

the Rest Time (16) and will start again a

Number of repeats (9) times. The rest time is

defined as the period when the athlete takes

a breath between repetitions. Then, the LED

strip shows the elapsed rest time as

described in chapter 5.1 step 3.

ELASTIC 1: the LED light spot is moving back and forward to cover the DISTANCE (14)

in the set TIME (8). Each path can be set as acceleration stroke, deceleration stroke and

waiting time before reversing speed. The number of times this jogging is performed is

defined by the Number of repeats (9) parameter.

ELASTIC 2: this mode is similar to ELASTIC 1 with the only difference that last point of

the running path is chosen by the microprocessor in a random way. This last point is

calculated to be placed between the start point and the set DISTANCE (14).

ELASTIC 3: this mode is similar to ELASTIC 2 with the only difference that the start

point of the LED light spot becomes not fixed as well. The start point position is

calculated by the microprocessor in a random way (as the last point).

JUMP: a series of fix LED light spots is lighted from the start position to the set

DISTANCE (14). The distance among these spots is defined by the user.

If a value out of range is inserted in the data input field, the error message: “WRONG DATA”

will appear in the Message Area (3). In this case the system will set a default value in place of

the wrong one. Message Area (3) is written when VTM run is started by (1).

5.0 MODEs description

5.1 RUN mode

RUN mode moves the LED light spot

according to a speed curve as shown in

the picture. The speed is raised by a

mathematical model from zero to its

maximum value. This value is calculated

in such a way to run the defined

DISTANCE (14) in the desired TIME (8).

The rising speed curve has been defined

by a mathematical model that takes into

account the average behavior of several real cases taken from data performances of both top

rank and average athletes. This curve can be trimmed by the user just changing the

parameter “Acceleration Adjust” by (18). The range of this parameter is from 80% to 120 %

with resolution of units. By the “Acceleration Adjust” the athlete can test different slopes of

speed ramp up curve. 120% is the fastest increase of speed (acceleration).

The parameter “Reaction Time”can be set by (17) between 0 and 3 seconds with resolution of

thousandths of seconds. The “Reaction Time” is here defined as the elapsed time from the

start signal to the instant when the athlete starts to actually move. Of course its regular value

is around 0.15 seconds.

If VTM calculation algorithm fails, when RUN mode, mainly due to incoherent data entered, a

constant red LED light spot appears on the strip at a distance of 500 mm from the starting

point.

5.2 SPEED mode

SPEED mode moves the LED light spots at a

constant speed. This function, otherwise called

Constant Speed, is very useful to train your

maximum speed in the right relaxed way. Usually

you do not know your actual speed while running

even though it is important to be aware of your

rapidity, especially in 200 and 400 meters sprint.

You can set your VTM at the speed you would like to

reach (i.e. 10.0 m/s) and a LED light by its multiple moving spots will provide you the

reference to follow. Every moving spot is positioned at the defined distance [22] away from

the spot ahead and behind so the runner can easily catch the closest to him. The lasting time

of this spots movement is set by [23]. Repeats are not applied to this mode.

5.3 Elastic mode

ELASTIC 1 mode moves the LED light spot according to a curve composed by an acceleration

stroke, a constant speed phase and a deceleration stroke. The acceleration and deceleration

strokes are set as a percentage of the total DISTANCE by the parameters “Acc.Dist.”(21) and

“Dec.Dist.”(20) respectively. The admitted range of the former is from 1 to 50 % while the

range of the latter is from 1 to 33%. Their resolution is unit of percentage. Then, VTM

calculates the constant speed value needed to run the defined DISTANCE (14) in the desired

TIME (8) according to speed curve showed in the next picture.

The parameter “Rev.Time” (19) is related to the reversing time. It is the time to wait, at the

end of deceleration stroke, before changing the speed direction. The range of this parameter is

from 0 to 10 seconds with resolution of hundredths of seconds.

When ELASTIC 2 mode is selected the

microprocessor takes the actual

DISTANCE to run in a random way and in

any case not greater than DISTANCE (14).

Instead, the starting point is kept steady.

On the contrary when ELASTIC 3 mode is

selected the starting point is left

randomly floating as well.

When any of the ELASTIC modes is selected and VTM calculation algorithm fails, mainly if

incoherent data are entered, a constant red LED light spot appears on the strip at a distance of

800 mm from the starting point.

The number of times the LED light is moved back and forward is defined by Number of

repeats (9).
