4 Chapter 1 Welcome to SMARTfit Functional and Brain Fitness Games An Introduction from Gunnar Peterson SmartFit is the answer. The answer to what, you ask? The answer to the perpetual question: What s the next big thing in fitness? But in fact, SmartFit is more than even that. It s a key that can unlock an athlete s potential. It s a tool that can fix a learning problem. It s also a stand-alone piece of equipment that can challenge and improve anyone who uses it. The drills compiled here will work the body in different planes of motion, put your balance to the test, and keep you engaged from start to finish. SmartFit offers reaction based games that mirror traditional conditioning for all of the major team and individual sports. What really separates SmartFit from the rest of the fitness world is the cognitive component. SmartFit works your brain while you are working your body. You become more focused. You are sharper. You are better-all around. Nothing else in fitness does that because nothing else in fitness is SmartFit. -Gunnar Peterson C.S.C.S. SMARTfit s diverse programming is designed to make infuse your programs with highly effective drills while making your sessions fun, engaging, challenging, and hard work. SMARTfit System Manual This manual covers the drills applicable to personal fitness training on the SMARTfit Combo. Please refer to the SMARTfit user manual for information on how to operate the system by visiting: 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. 1

5 Chapter 2 Health and Fitness Assessments Track individual health and fitness metrics while programming workouts for SMARTfit Combo to establish baseline values. Instructors can index results based on population norms to show individual progress and the amount of improvement which has taken place. More specific on-line performance tracking will become available on our website. Assessments included focus on presenting key performance indicators for body composition, cardiovascular capacity, upper body and core endurance, as well as reaction time. Assessments should be performed weekly or bi-monthly to hold participants accountable but more importantly indicators will allow the instructor to adjust fitness program as level of competency progresses.
