“…This finding is consistent with FG Team's report that FITLIGHT Trainer can help trainers to improve vital aspects of emerging performance, including speed, agility, acceleration capabilities, visual cognitive processing, reaction response, fluidity of movement, physical adaptation, motor skills, cognitive skills, concentration, ambient awareness, vertical lifting ability, multi-directional change and hand-eye coordination. The system also helps trainers track progress in injury recovery ( 37 , 38 ).…”

IntroductionThe aim of this research is to identify the effect of Small-sided games using the FITLIGHT training system on some of the harmonic abilities and some of the basic skills of basketball Players.MethodsThe researchers used the experimental method on 24 basketball players. They were randomly divided into two groups: one experimental (n = 12, age = 10.92 ± 0.79 years; height = 138.50 ± 2.78 cm; weight = 40.25 ± 2.01 kg) and a control group (n = 12, age = 11.17 ± 0. 72 years; length = 139.92 ± 3.53 cm; weight = 40.50 ± . 1.73 kg). The homogeneity between the two groups was calculated and showed that there were no differences between the two samples. In the research variables, the proposed program was applied for 10 weeks at the rate of 4 weekly training units.Results and DiscussionThe proposed training program had a positive impact on the harmonic abilities and basic skills of basketball players and the differences in improvement rates for all variables were in favor of the experimental group. Therefore, the research suggests that Small-sided games using FITLIGHT positively affect all the variables under research. This leads to significant differences between the post-tests and benefits the experimental group.

“…In the evaluation of the extremity reaction time of the volleyball players, the Light Trainer Flash Light Exercise System ™ reaction time device was used (intraclass correlation: 0.89). 16 Packages are available from 4 to 32 spots. As part of our research, we had 2 packages of 8 spotlights, each with default software (Software version: 4.0.32).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not eccentric hamstring muscle strength has an effect on reaction time in elite volleyball players. Material and Methods: The study included 33 male volleyball players, aged 16-20 years, who met the study inclusion criteria. The eccentric hamstring strength was measured during Nordic hamstring exercises with an iVMES H-BORD ® . The reaction time of the volleyball players was measured with the Light Trainer Flash Light Exercise System™.Results: A strong level, negative, significant correlation was determined between the maximum eccentric hamstring muscle strength values of the dominant and non-dominant side of the study participants and the mean reaction time (r=-0.69, p<0.001; r=-0.78, p<0.001, respectively) and the best reaction time values (r=-0.70; p<0.001, r=-0.75; p<0.001, respectively). A strong level, negative, significant correlation was determined between the mean eccentric hamstring muscle strength values of the dominant and nondominant side and the mean reaction time (r=-0.69; p<0.001, r=-0.71; p<0.001, respectively) and the best reaction time values (r=-0.71; p<0.001, r=-0.68; p<0.001, respectively). At the same time, it was determined that there was no significant correlation between maximum and mean eccentric muscle strength difference and mean reaction time and best reaction time values (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a significant correlation between eccentric hamstring muscle strength and reaction time parameters in young, male volleyball players. Trainers and sports scientists should take this into consideration in training programs to improve the performance of volleyball players.

“…A series of studies have concluded that the FitLight Trainer™ System [22] can be used as a training and evaluation tool with a high level of reliability, validity, versatility and portability in measuring simple and complex reactive time to visual stimuli in different categories of healthy populations of athletes and non-athletes [23][24][25]. The Fitlight Training System was used to study reactions to visual stimuli in physical education lessons, demonstrating that the use of these devices contributes to improving simple and complex reaction time in relation to the selective attention of primary school students [26,27].…”

The purpose of the study was to design and implement, in the physical and sports education process and in the motor evaluation process, a program of exercises and specific tests to optimize reaction time by using the Fitlight technological systems in relation to the manual and foot laterality of the pupils and identification of gender differences regarding the development of reaction speed. The study included 231 pupils, between 10 and 11 years old, who were divided into two groups according to gender, as follows: the male sample included 109 (97.32%) subjects, and the female sample included 103 (94.45%) participants. All subjects were identified with right manual and foot laterality. Both samples performed a specific exercise program to optimize reaction time in relation to manual and foot laterality by using Fitlight technologies. In the study, four tests were applied in order to evaluate reaction times using Fitlight, two in relation to the manual laterality and two with foot laterality, and the results were statistically processed with IBM SPPS Statistic 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Through the comparative analysis of the samples and the progress aimed at optimizing the reaction time specific to our study, it was found that the female sample recorded greater progress at the level of manual laterality, both for the right hand and for the left one, while the sample of boys recorded significant progress in terms of improving reaction time at the level of right and left foot laterality. At the foot laterality level, the results for the executions with the right foot were better in the simple test with four Fitlight spotlights in a line, and for the complex test, with eight Fitlight spotlights in a square, the results were better in the executions with the left foot. This reveals the fact that the greater the execution complexity, the better the motor prevalence on the left side.
