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:
Provide real-time insights during
training
Track total training impact and ben-
efi ts
Simplify the collection and manage-
ment of data
Add fl exibility with a highly portable
system
HOW IT WORKS
miCoach Elite Team system uses state
of the art sensor technologies along with
compact electronics, specialized fabrics/
fi bers and wireless communication to
provide non-invasive monitoring of athletes in real-time.
adidas brings together GPS, inertial
sensors, heart rate monitoring, and
other technologies along with an understanding of elite athletes and their
training and developmental needs. Sophisticated algorithms process millions
of data points to bring simple, actionable
insights.
WHAT IT MEASURES
miCoach elite was designed to take
millions of data points and boil them
down to simple, intelligent feedback for
coaches who want to understand how
training is impacting athletes and their
performance.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
METRICS
HEART RATE POWER SPEED
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.
This is a precise measure of how hard
the athlete is working. Power training is
widely used in cycling where it has been
possible to measure with a meter on the
bike. Advanced sensor technology and
algorithms in the miCoach elite team
system will now enable power to be
used in fi eld sports.
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 effi ciency
of an athlete. Athletes that are putting
out more work per heart beat are in better condition.
By monitoring speed, a coach can see
if athletes are training at the level that
is 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 over training and risk
of injury.

CENTRAL WEB SYSTEM
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
GETTING STARTED ON THE WEB
PREPARATION
Before using the miCoach system for
a training session, you must perform
multiple steps via the miCoach elite web
app. The app is intuitive and will guide
you through the following steps.
CREATE USER ACCOUNTS
Enter profi les and set up access levels
for users.
DEFINE ZONES AND LOAD WEIGHTS
Enter profi les and set up access levels

METRICS
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
meet their goals. During or at the end of
a scrimmage, a coach can use the live
app to check distance covered. Athletes
that fall short of the target will continue
to train.
ACCELERATION / DECELERATION FIELD POSITION
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.
This allows a coach to see where the
athletes have been on the fi eld giving
insight into tactical movements of the
players.

T-SHIRT
CELL POCKET HEART RATE SENSORS
Pocket for a Cell.
Each athlete is outfi tted with a me-
dium compression base layer that
works with the Cell.
Specialized fi bers are integrated into
the base layer to transmit data to the
Cell. The base layer is available in
a range of sizes for optimum fi t and
accurate data collection. The Cell
rests between the shoulder blades
so it does not interfere with training
or game play.
Sensors detect and read
athletes heart rate.
15
COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
BASE STATION LED’S
T-SHIRT
SENSOR CONNECTORS
Best way to know what size to put on a player is to measure the circumference of his torso under his pectoral muscles.
If you do not have access to that measurement you can also estimate the
shirt fi t using height and weight. Consult the sizing chart.
FIT
The heart rate sensors on the front of the Techfi t elite smart shirt must lay
fl at on the rib cage and not shift around as the athlete moves. This is most
effectively accomplished when the smart shirt fi ts like a second skin.
Athletes may request a larger shirt but if the sensors do not fi t fl at on the
chest wall, they will not collect data consistently.
It is also important that the Techfi t elite smart shirt be the base layer. The
sensors must make contact with the skin to record heart rate.
STARTUP
Depending on a player unique body chemistry, heart rate may be detected
immediately on the Cell. However, many athletes may need a warm up period before the heart rate can be detected.
Pre wetting the sensors with tap water or electrogel can help reduce the
length of the warm up period signifi cantly.
Do not use more than fi ngertip-sized amount of gel to spread over the sen-
sor. Too much will cause the sensor to slide around and give a poor signal.

T-SHIRT
SHIRT ASSIGNMENT
A specifi c Techfi t elite smart shirt can be assigned to a player or a different shirt can be used in
each session.
This is the kit manager’s choice.There is a writable label at the back inside hem of the shirt to
assign a player to a specifi c smart shirt or identify each garment for tracking purposes.
REMOVING THE SMART SHIRT
Since the Techfi t elite smart shirt fi ts like a second skin, it can be more diffi cult to remove than
a loosely fi tting shirt, especially after a workout.
Do not pull from the neckline. Instead, please try one of these suggestions:
Pull up from the bottom hem of the shirt and remove, twisting the torso and shoulders as needed. Ask another player to pull the shirt over the head while pulling from the back, bottom hem.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Remove micoach elite Cell from the pocket on the back of the Techfi t elite smart shirt.
Wipe the micoach elite Cell off with a soft, dry cloth and set aside.
Wash the Techfi t elite smart shirt as soon as possible after use—at least within a few hours.
DO NOT let it sit wet overnight.
Machine wash with warm water, laundry detergent and hang dry.
Do not bleach, iron the harness area or tumble dry .
Air dry completely before packing in a bag.
