Reactive agility mode- How to

Reactive Agility System (RAGS) allows you to create fully customizable reactive drills by combining timing gates and reaction pods into structured sequences. Each station activates the next task, requiring the athlete to react and move accordingly.

This mode is ideal for training agility, reaction time, decision-making, and cognitive-motor performance.

How RAGS works

RAGS drills are built using stations. Each station gives the athlete a task to complete before the next station activates.

You can add two types of stations:

Gate stations
The athlete runs through a timing gate to trigger the next station.

Pod stations
The athlete reacts to a visual cue displayed on a pod, such as a color, arrow, number, or symbol.

Once the athlete completes a station, the next one activates automatically.

How to create a RAGS drill

Open the Sportreact app
Tap Create Workout
Select Reactive Agility System
Tap Add Station
Choose either:
- Gate station, or
- Pod station
Continue adding stations to build your sequence

You can combine multiple gates and pods to create complex reactive drills.

How to customize pod stations

When adding a pod station, you can choose the type of visual cue displayed.

Available options include:

Arrows
Colors
Numbers
Symbols

These cues require athletes to make fast decisions and react accordingly.

Example drill sequence

Example sequence:

Athlete runs through a timing gate
A pod lights up with a directional arrow
Athlete moves in the indicated direction
Next gate activates
Sequence continues

This creates a reactive agility course that trains both movement and cognitive response.

Common use cases

Reactive Agility System is commonly used for:

Agility and change-of-direction training
Return-to-sport rehabilitation
Cognitive-motor training
Neurologic rehabilitation
Sports performance training

Important

Pods must be connected and synced with the app before creating a Reactive Agility drill.
