Any sports performance depends not only by a series of specific motor abilities, even by a number of components about the taking of information and its subsequent comprehension and processing, required for the activation of an adequate motor response. Therefore, improving this ability becomes crucial in all sports where there is interaction with a person or with a 'tool. To check the improvement of reaction times and the speed of the technical act becomes important in order to establish how much the proposed training is effective to the athletes. This simple APP, combined with 2 sensors, supplied with a specific user manual,  allows you in real time to be able to establish the reaction time  and execution of technical movements speed.  This APP is able to emit two signals - stimulus -: acoustic and visual, delayed, compared to the confirmation by the operator, of a random time ranging between 3 and 10 seconds until the athlete subjected to the test, does not have the ability to anticipate the movement. The sensor A placed on the person allows the calculation of the reaction rate as the difference between the beginning of the movement and the stimulus produced by the APP. The sensor B placed on the target allows the calculation of the speed of execution, as the difference between the beginning of the movement and the arrival on the target. The detected information can be placed in a portal that allows you to record information and to detect statistical information on the evolution and to be linked  other system users to compare the results. You can order this simple APP combined with the 2 sensors at the following e-mail address:   info@olimpic-academy.it

This app was made as a fun way to pass the time with a basketball hoop and ball (whether mini or full-size) during shelter-in-place in Spring 2020, with a certain college tournament otherwise cancelled. Game Rules Games are built with four rounds, made up of 10 shots (by default, but customizable from 3 to 15 shots) of escalating value: 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, and 4 points. Clicking on an individual basketball to make it orange will count it as a made shot; leaving it gray will not be counted. Points are only displayed at the end of all four rounds for each team, and then a statistics view is also available to show percentages by round. If overtime is needed, an additional round of shots is given per team, with each basket worth one point. An additional round of shots is added per additional overtime period, as necessary. Shooting Hand Each team is given a random selection to shoot either right or left-handed, set so that the "better" team has a better chance to shoot with their dominant hand. This chance is calculated separately for each team (i.e. both teams could end up shooting with the same hand) based on historical win probabilities in the tournament when those seeds face each other. Equal seeds, or seeds that have never faced each other, have a 50 percent chance of either hand. Single games outside of tournaments operate as if the teams are equal seeds. Single Game A single game will consist of players selecting two teams, with a 50% chance for each team to shoot each right or left handed; as noted above, this is calculated separately, so each team could end up shooting with the same hand. All teams in Division 1 are available to play with, not just tournament teams. Tournament Mode Tournament mode requires the user to either select an initial bracket or make a customizable bracket, and then they can select individual games to play by round or region. The currently viewed round can be changed with the +/- button from within a single tournament's menu (if in List view style), or the currently viewed region can be changed by selecting a different region (if in Bracket view style), although games will be unplayable until both teams have been decided for a given game (typically applicable to later rounds). Both men's and women's tournament brackets are available. You may simulate, and therefore not play, individual tournament games (but not single games), or even an entire tournament, where desired; the winner will be based on historical win probabilities, as used for shooting hand determination in a non-simulated game. Note that no statistics will be recorded, and the winner of each game will be given a winning score of 1 to 0. Live Game Scores Live game scores are obtained through the ESPN API.
