How the App Works
The Spectrum 8 Sports application measures performance and assigns a color code to provide a participant with a clear line of sight to their performance. It also will allow the participant to understand where they are in the spectrum of 8 colors, motivating them to achieve the next performance color in the spectrum.
“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.“
- John F. Kennedy
The 8 Core principles
1. Color
COLOR IS BELIEVED TO BE A PERSON’S MOST IMPORTANT VISUAL EXPERIENCE. SPECTRUM 8 UTILIZES THE POWER OF COLOR TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL, MOTIVATIONAL AND FUN EXPERIENCE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES.
2. Concept
THE CONCEPT OF SPECTRUM 8 IS TO CREATE A MODEL THAT IS TOTALLY INCLUSIVE. PERCENTILE AND UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD COLOR-CODED SCALES ARE DESIGNED TO ACCOUNT FOR GENDER, AGE, EDUCATIONAL CLASS, PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE DIFFERENCES.
3. CHALLENGE
SPECTRUM 8 METHODOLOGY ALLOWS EVERYONE TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES. IN PERSON, REMOTE, VIRTUAL CHALLENGE OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE CREATED AT CLASS, SCHOOL, INTERSCHOLASTIC, COMMUNITY, AND CORPORATE LEVELS.
4. Context
THE PERCENTILE AND COLOR-CODED SCORES CAN INSTANTLY COMMUNICATE PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES. AT FIRST GLANCE, PARTICIPANTS AND OBSERVERS ARE CONVEYED A PERSPECTIVE THAT TRADITIONAL NUMBERS DO NOT PROVIDE.
5. Creativity
THE UTILIZATION OF THE SPECTRUM 8 COLOR SCALE CHANGES THE TRADITIONAL METHOD OF THE MEASUREMENT OF SPEED. DURING A SPECTRUM 8 TEST, SPEED IS NOT MEASURED BY TIME BUT BY THE AMOUNT OF DISTANCE TRAVELED WITHIN THE PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME.
6. Confidentiality
ALL DATA COLLECTED VIA THE SPECTRUM 8 ASSESSMENTS IS PROTECTED BY THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. ALL CLIENTS HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS AT ANY TIME TO THEIR OWN DATA BUT IDENTITY DATA IS FULLY PROTECTED FROM NON-AUTHORIZED ACCESS.
7. Customer Protection
ALL OF THE AGE-APPROPRIATE SPECTRUM 8 ASSESSMENT TESTS AND EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN RESEARCHED AND DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE RISKS OF INJURY AND ACCIDENT
8. Cost
THE SPECTRUM 8 BASIC PACKAGE WILL INCLUDE AN ANNUAL SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION, SPECTRUM 8 ASSESSMENT EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. UPON REQUEST, SPECTRUM 8 WILL SCHEDULE AND FACILITATE GROUP CHALLENGE EVENTS.
