Frequently Asked Questions

ReflexPod is a smart reaction-training system designed to help athletes develop reaction speed, agility, coordination, movement, concentration and decision-making.

The system uses illuminated training pods that provide visual targets for interactive reaction and movement exercises.

ReflexPod can be used by professional athletes, youth athletes, coaches, sports academies, fitness centers, personal trainers, physiotherapists, rehabilitation centers, sports clubs, schools, universities and performance centers.

ReflexPod can be adapted to many sports, including football, basketball, tennis, squash, handball, volleyball, martial arts, athletics and other sports that require fast reactions and movement.

It can also be incorporated into physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises when appropriate.

ReflexPod can be used to train reaction speed, agility, hand-eye coordination, foot-eye coordination, movement speed, change of direction, balance, spatial awareness, concentration, decision-making and cognitive-motor response.

Yes. Exercises can be adapted for beginners, youth athletes, experienced athletes and professional performers by changing factors such as reaction time, movement distance, number of targets, sequence complexity and training duration.

ReflexPod uses illuminated pods as interactive training targets. A typical exercise starts with the pods in their ready state. One or more targets can then activate depending on the selected training mode.

The athlete reacts to the visual signal, moves toward the active target and interacts with it. The system then continues according to the selected training sequence.

No. The athlete does not need to hit, punch, kick or strike the pod. Depending on the selected sensor mode and exercise, the athlete can interact with the active pod using a quick, controlled touch.

No. The intended interaction is a light touch rather than a forceful press. The athlete should make a quick and controlled contact without pushing the pod down or moving it.

Yes. Depending on the exercise, ReflexPod can be used for hand-touch exercises, foot-touch exercises, lateral movement, change-of-direction drills and multi-directional reaction training.

Yes. Multiple ReflexPods can be positioned around the training area to create different reaction patterns and movement drills. The exact activation behavior depends on the selected training mode.

Yes. ReflexPod can be configured for different training objectives. Depending on the software configuration, coaches can adjust target sequences, timing, delays, training duration, repetitions and other exercise parameters.

Yes. Randomized target activation can create unpredictable reaction exercises. The athlete must observe the stimulus, process it, make a decision and react rather than simply memorizing a sequence.

Yes. Predefined sequences can be used when a coach wants the athlete to follow a specific movement or reaction pattern.

Yes. Training difficulty can be adjusted through factors such as reaction time, delay, movement distance, number of targets, sequence complexity and session duration.

A qualified physiotherapist should determine the appropriate exercise, intensity and progression for each patient.

It may be incorporated into a rehabilitation program when appropriate. Exercises should be selected and supervised by a qualified healthcare or rehabilitation professional.

Yes. Pods can be positioned to create controlled balance and movement exercises. Difficulty can be progressively increased by changing distance, direction, reaction time or movement requirements.

Yes. The athlete must see a stimulus, process it, make a decision and then move. This makes ReflexPod suitable for cognitive-motor training exercises.

ReflexPod is designed to work with a mobile application that communicates with the training system and controls the exercise.

Yes. The system is designed to allow the training setup to correspond with the physical arrangement of the pods, making it possible to create different training layouts and movement patterns.

Yes, where the saved setup feature is enabled. This allows coaches to reuse preferred training arrangements without configuring the setup from the beginning each time.

Yes. Different exercises can be configured for different athletes, sports, objectives and training levels.

The ReflexPod system is designed to support training reports and performance analysis. Depending on the enabled features, reports can include successful reactions, missed targets, timing, battery status and session performance.

A heatmap can be used to visualize activity across the training area when the corresponding reporting feature is enabled.

The system can be configured with multiple ReflexPods. The exact number supported depends on the ReflexPod package and software configuration.

Yes. Pods can be physically arranged to create different exercises and movement patterns according to the athlete, sport, training area and exercise.

No. Pods can be arranged according to the exercise. Coaches can create lines, squares, rectangles, circles or custom sport-specific formations.

ReflexPod is designed around wireless communication between the pods, control system and mobile application.

Yes. ReflexPod uses illuminated LED indicators to provide clear visual feedback to the athlete during reaction exercises.

Yes. ReflexPods use rechargeable batteries and can be recharged between training sessions.

ReflexPods use USB-based charging hardware. The exact charging procedure and recommended charging equipment depend on the ReflexPod package and hardware revision.

Battery runtime depends on usage duration, LED brightness, wireless communication, number of interactions, battery condition and training environment.

Yes. Battery status can be monitored through the system where battery monitoring is enabled. This helps identify pods that need charging before a training session.

The system can identify disconnected pods where connectivity monitoring is enabled. The coach can check the pod’s battery, power, wireless connection and position before continuing.

Check that the pod has sufficient battery power, is switched on, is within the required communication range and is correctly connected to the mobile application.

If the issue continues, contact ReflexPod support.

Unexpected activation can be related to sensor configuration or environmental conditions. Check the selected sensor mode, calibration and training environment.

Yes. ReflexPod supports multiple sensor configurations to adapt to different training environments and interaction requirements. Available modes include Touch Sensor, IR, Touch + IR and Touch OR IR.

ReflexPod supports multiple interaction detection modes:

• Touch Sensor: detects direct physical touch.
• IR: uses infrared detection.
• Touch + IR: combines both detection methods.
• Touch OR IR: allows either sensor to detect the interaction.

Strong sunlight and intense ambient light can affect infrared detection. ReflexPod is designed with multiple sensor modes so users can adapt the system to different environments.

If strong sunlight affects IR detection, users can switch to Touch Sensor mode or use Touch + IR, depending on the required training setup.

In very strong sunlight, Touch Sensor mode can be used when direct touch detection is preferred.

Depending on the exercise and environment, Touch + IR can also be selected.

Touch + IR mode combines the Touch Sensor and infrared detection systems as part of the configured interaction logic.

Touch OR IR mode allows the system to recognize an interaction through either the Touch Sensor or the IR sensor according to the configured detection logic.

Calibration may be recommended to achieve reliable sensor detection, particularly when environmental conditions change. Calibration helps configure the sensor response for the environment where ReflexPod will be used.
