elite elite Team System User Manual Overview miCoach Elite represents the latest advancement in performance monitoring. The state of the art system gives athletes and teams a powerful, yet easy to use tool to help them achieve and maintain peak physical performance and gain an edge on their competition. Teams can now accurately plan, monitor, analyze and report on the performance of athletes with one integrated system. The miCoach Elite Team System is designed to perform tasks that aid training and coaching staff, including: n Provide real time insights during training n Track total training impact and benefits n Simplify the collection and management of data n Add flexibility with a highly portable system How it works miCoach Elite Team system uses a collection of technologies along with compact electronics, specialized fab- rics/fibers and wireless communication to provide non-invasive monitoring of athletes in near real time. adidas brings together GPS, WiFi, accelerometers, heart rate monitoring and other technologies along with an understanding of elite athletes and their training and developmental needs. elite elite What it measures miCoach Elite was designed to take millions of points of data and boil them down to simple, intelligent feedback for coaches who want to understand how training is impacting athletes and their ability to perform. 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 majority of athletes are ready. Power This is a precise measure of how hard the athlete is working. Power training is widely used in cycling where it’s been possible to measure by putting a meter on the bike. Advanced sensor technology and algorithms in the micoach elite system will now enable power to be used in football/soccer. 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 efficiency of a player. Athletes that are putting out more work per heart beat are in better condition. Speed By monitoring speed a coach can see if the athletes are training at the level that’s 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 essential to prevent overtraining and risk of injury. Distance The distance an athlete runs during a game or scrimmage can vary. A real time measure of distance allows a coach to set individual or team targets for distance and ensure that all athletes have met the goal. At the end of a scrimmage a coach can use the live app to check distance covered. Athletes that fell short of the target will continue to run. Acceleration/Deceleration These measures are critical in sports where rapid change of direction is required. Understanding the rate and frequency of accelerations and decelerations is an important part of overall training load. Field Position This allows a coach to see where the athletes have been on the field giving insight into tactical movements of the players. elite elite miCoach Elite Team System The miCoach Elite system consists of five components. elite elite 1. miCoach Elite PLAYER_CELL This small sensing device captures key metrics of athletic performance during training and on the field of play. Data is transmitted wirelessly and in near real time to the base. 2. Techfit Elite base layer Each athlete is outfitted with a sleeveless, medium compression base layer that works with the PLAYER_CELL. Specialized fibers are woven into the base layer to transmit data to the PLAYER_CELL. The base layer is available in a range of sizes for optimum fit and accurate data collection. The PLAYER_CELL rests between the shoulder blades so it does not interfere with training or game play. 3. miCoach Elite Base Station The Base Station is a portable receiver that collects data from up to 30 PLAYER_CELLS and can transmit that data in near real time to the miCoach Elite Dash via WiFi. Data from three sessions can be stored locally on the base. When connected to the Internet, the base station uploads data to a team’s secure web server for post-session analysis and reporting. The Base Station also serves as a storage and charging port for all the PLAYER_CELLS and iPads used with the Team System. The unit is portable, rugged and weather resistant. 4. miCoach Elite Dash This app runs on a iPad connected to the Base via WiFi and allows for on-field planning and drill management. It also provides coaches and trainers data for live monitoring of athletes. Information on heart rate, speed, distance, acceleration and power can be viewed in near real time and through a range of user-selected formats. Both individual and team data can be reviewed through simple touch-screen commands. 5. miCoach Elite Web App Analysis of training and game data is performed with tools located on the miCoach Elite website. Simple to use reporting tools provide insight into athletes’ performance and workout intensity. The app enables users to load player data, track results through custom tools and share findings though easy to read reports. The app and all data is secure and accessible by authorized team personnel only. elite elite miCoach Elite Team System elite elite miCoach Elite PLAYER_CELL This small sensing device captures key metrics of athletic performance during training and on the field of play.

In compliance with this requirement, this PBA requests approval of the following RF exposure exemption for a portable device worn on body due to low output power. Additionally this PBA requests guidance on the appropriate test configuration to be used for the device. The client, Adidas has developed a 2.4 GHz band 802.15.4 protocol radio for use in a body worn POD device. The POD has three usage scenarios. One is charging, docked in a charging system, in which configuration the 802.15.4 POD transmitter is not active and there is no RF exposure question. The second usage is undocked, standalone use, such as placed on a table, which as a mobile configuration would not require SAR testing and would be handled through MPE analysis. The third usage scenario is with the POD docked in a player worn shirt, in a portable configuration on the torso of a user. Please reference the included ?POD and Shirt.pdf? file which gives a visual representation of the POD and Shirt. The player worn shirt contains leads which connect electrically to the POD when docked in the shirt, and which relay biometric information to the POD to be broadcast over the 802.15.4 radio. Therefore this configuration is electrically different from the standalone POD configuration. Please confirm that testing of the shirt mode is required due to the addition of the electrical leads present in the shirt, and if the FCC agrees that testing of the shirt mode is required, please indicate how the shirt should be arranged during testing. Should the shirt be placed flat on the table, or should the shirt be placed on a wooden or plastic test fixture to hold it upright as it would be in normal use when worn on the body? Further, Adidas has expressed an interest in placing the shirt on a torso simulator filled with tissue simulation fluid for the 15.247 testing and has requested the FCC?s opinion on this technique. Initial test results for the 802.15.4 radio in the POD device indicate an EIRP of 5.52 dBm when tested standalone without the shirt leads attached. 802.15.4 radios operated under 47CFR FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 are subject to routine RF exposure evaluation and the peak EIRP of 5.52 dBm (3.6 mW) is below the 60/f average power exemption threshold of 25 mW. The usage type for this device would be ?General Population/Uncontrolled? therefore the averaging time allowed for RF exposure is 6 minutes, however it is not necessary to average the power as the peak is well below the exemption threshold. If the low power results are maintained in the configuration with the shirt attached, it is expected that the POD device would comply with the RF exposure requirements through exemption and file:///C|/TCB%20Downloads/Adidas/RE%20Response%20to%20Inquiry%20to%20FCC%20(Tracking%20Number%20455003).htm[11/7/2012 10:04:39 AM] a SAR report would not be required. This is not taking into account any averaging, which would further reduce the output power. Please indicate whether the FCC agrees with the basis for RF exposure exemption and please also indicate the preferred approach to compliance of the configuration with the POD docked in the body worn shirt. FCC response on 06/27/2012 Devices authorized under FCC Rule §15.247 are not subject to the requirement to perform routine SAR evaluation to demonstrate compliance. Devices submitted to TCBs for approval must meet the 60/f(GHz) mW output power threshold in order to be eligible for SAR test exclusion. The maximum output power of the DUT (3.6 mW) meets the threshold for SAR exclusion and SAR testing for the DUT may be omitted. Based upon your description, the leads imbedded in the shirt do not radiate. If this is the case, the addition of electrical leads in the shirt does not necessitate additional RF exposure testing. Please be reminded that the entire assembly, with leads, needs to be tested for EMC compliance. Please consult ANSI C63.4, Section 6.1.4 for general guidance.
