Training group tactical actions is based upon simulations of game situations during work-out sessions. The athletes are supposed to be fast and precise in recognizing the game situation referring it to the particular type and then they are to apply the adequate group tactical action. The Interactive Simulator developed by the staff of LEMA Company in close to real conditions allows to:
- simulate space and time structure of the game situations, including the location and relocation of the ball, defenders, attacking players within the football field;
-assign defenders’ action algorithm to influence each game situation and its development;
- act upon the game situation development by every attacking player (performing operations with a ball – handling and performing operations without a ball –opening for handling;
- coordinate attacking players’ actions between themselves in time and space;
- obtain information on the characteristics of tactical actions – precision and timeliness of ball handling and opening.
Taking into account the above said the benefits of the Interactive Simulator are to be emphasised for team sports, football including. I am certain that the Simulator will be of great interest for the coaches who train young football players and this will result in the considerable advancement of sports school and children and youth sports school of the Olympic reserve leavers.

This system can be applied for a training process and as methodological training support for national teams: for standard, complex and ongoing examinations, assessment of competitive activity.
E.P. Popechitelev, the RF Honored Science Worker, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of Biotechnical Systems Department, St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University
Designed by the LEMA specialists multi-purpose interactive simulator is a tool for effective development of specialized athletes’ skills for any game and situational kinds of sports and more.
The Simulator supports with the highest possible approximation to reality to model the space and time structure of the situations that can occur to a person or a group of people, and to train their behavior in unpredictable for them conditions. At the same time, the Simulator can be widely applicable not only for training athletes.
The situations to be created using the Simulator can be interpreted as the game ones. One can assign the contents of each situation and the course of its development, the players’ behaviour algorithm, coordination of players’ interactions in time and space; obtain the immediate information on the characteristics of the players’ actions and condition while they are doing the skill exercise.
Using psychological knowledge of the influence of light, colour and sound on a human, the authors in a comprehensive way make use of a range of multimedia tools. In addition, the simulator provides visual and auditory communication between the parties, as well as the elements of the active biological feedback to control the actions and the condition of the person. This is a new promising area in sport science and training, which deserves special attention. The Simulator is both suitable for the training process (for example, for GTO standards) and as methodological support of the comprehensive, interval and current examination and physical fitness evaluation.
Furthermore, the possibilities of this Simulator and the technologies based on it are much broader and are of great scientific and practical prospects going beyond the boundaries of sport application, and not fully disclosed yet. It is suitable as a diagnostic and rehabilitation instrument in specialized centers, where the functional characteristics of the human body are study and trained.
Another promising application is for group testing when tactical actions training assignments are created in the simulated situation with the subsequent analysis of the tactical operations of the group of people. Perhaps the approaches inherent in the technology will be the key ones for solving one of the most serious problems of our time being physical inactivity. Many people will be given an opportunity to simulate and programme capacious motor tests, offering them to each other as creative competitions.
In October 2013, the development Interactive Training Method in Team Sports received the highest appraisal of experts and was awarded with gold medals at the International Festival of Innovations, Knowledge and Inventions "Tesla Fest" in Serbia and in the Russian-British Forum of Inventions and Innovative Technologies in the UK.
