| How does BATAK Pro differ from other fitness equipment? |
|
First...according to the 'Georgia Tech Sports Medicine and Performance Newsletter' "... Study after study has shown that reaction time - that period between the introduction of a stimulus and the first observable response - can be improved...There will always be individual differences, but each person can learn to reduce reaction time...There is ample evidence that strength training, aerobic and anaerobic development and sports skills should be practiced in a manner that simulate game or event conditions. Movements that are practiced in game-like situations are likely to be used in competition..." 
Hence BATAK Pro....a piece of equipment specifically designed to improve reaction, hand eye co-ordination and stamina by enabling sportsmen and women to train under simulated 'sports like' conditions, whilst also providing an element of fun and competition that is so often lacking in training. BATAK Pro Configuration Twelve visually bright LED cluster targets are numbered and arranged in a 'maximum stretch' type configuration and put under the control of a dedicated microcomputer. The targets may be lit up in either random or repetitive ways. Hits and misses are timed and scored on a central Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and verbal instructions are issued to the participating Player during the exercise as appropriate..(e.g. "Get Ready"..."Go"..."Level one"..."Time Out"...etc.) Downloading
video clip, please wait... An invisible Infra Red 'Strike Back Beam' is located at midriff level and is used to make a 'strike' at a Player during the Workout routine...(i.e. the player may be given one second to avoid the beam or 5 points will be deducted etc.) BATAK Pro can also be used with two optional 'sprint mats'...Black and White...so the Trainer can set up player movement in the third dimension. Ideal for 'shuttle runs' under controlled conditions for example. These two sprint mats may be positioned anywhere within, for example, a 10 metre radius of BATAK Pro for use in a large Gymnasium complex or Training Hall. BATAK Pro programs cater for ALL levels of skill and is suitable for people of all ages, providing each user with their own 'personal best'. Achievable goals can be set in Club type situations. 
Other Uses Mathematical and Mind Games can be catered for. Players who are Partly Paraplegic or disadvantaged in other ways may be catered for. Even Players who are blind or short sighted can use BATAK Pro... How? The machine can call out the numbers for each illuminated target...spatial awareness is often heightened in people with a loss of sight. The possibilities are endless! |

| What do your clients think of BATAK? |

"Two BATAK wall's form an integral part of the
'Sportsview' section of the Museum's new Science of
Sport exhibition. The walls form part of an exhibit
that demonstrates the importance of reaction speed
and hand-eye co-ordination. Since opening in
March 1997 the Science of Sport has proved
extremely popular with Museum visitors and our
two BATAK walls have proved to be valuable
educational tools."
Dan Wolfe, Marketing Manager Science of Sport Exhibition - Science Museum "BATAK is excellent for developing faster reactions and improving body co-ordination for players of all ages and abilities. Our young players have shown up to a measured 25% improvement in reaction time." T. Smith, LTA National fitness coach Bisham Abbey "BATAK has proved both enormously useful and popular in our recruitment training. Please do not hesitate to quote my satisfaction with BATAK." Inspector P. Hodkinson Hendon Police College "BATAK - a new age of sports technology set to revolutionise fitness training into the next century..." Director of the Sports Academy |
