This QuicksStart Guides are to be used as a review, after you have completed Onboarding Part 2

 

Below is a screenshot of the Advanced Dashboard

 

As a movement educator teaching your craft, you likely already know what movement sensation you would like your athlete to experience. Think about how you would normally create that experience,  how you would bring awareness to a body part or action.    Instead of words, metaphors and analogies to communicate a sensation of movement, you use the KAT to Capture it  and allow the athlete to FEEL it, (find it) themselves. 

Put the KAT  flat on a table. Pretend you want to teach the KAT's current 'position' on the table. 


Press the top parameter box, labeled "Angle X"  and  the border will turn BLUE.
(The  KAT will  deliver feedback based only in this X plane.)

Now press the blue Capture button to the right of the Target 1 text.( light blue.)  A pop up message will ask you to choose Desired or Undesired. Choose Desired.

The KAT will begin to beep and vibrate because the KAT is in the Desired position in the X plane,  that you just captured. Now while keeping the KAT flat on the table, rotate/turn the KAT outside of the Target zone,  (while watching the green line in the main screen) and the feedback will stop.  You'll see the green line shows the real-time position of the KAT.

 

Key Point: In the image above, the  X  box is outlined in BLUE border, which means the Feedback  is based on that plane. 

Now, fill in the blanks below while keeping in mind the desired technique (or undesired technique) you want to address. In this script, the feedback rewards the desired motor behavior.

1. One common mistake in ______________(a sporting movement) is poor_____________  (technique: footwork, posture, preparation).

 

2. Good technique during _________(action) involves _______________ (describe the movement) because it __________ (faster,  less wasted movement, more power)

 

3. Some athletes tend to________________(undesired action)  instead of ________________(desired action). 

 

4. I am using the KAT on the ______________ (body part)  in the Instruction Mode,   where feedback will be delivered _______ (if or when) the ______ (desired or undesired ) Target is achieved), to alert the wearer to the difference.

 
Use this script  to help you prepare before you attach the KAT on to the wearer.
 
Key Point: If you can't confidently fill in the blanks above, you won't be able to teach yourself or others. You must determine what motor patterns, in what plane and where on the body to attach the KAT. The default training mode is the Instruction mode, that rewards the wearer for the desired motor behavior with beeps/vibrations.
