description The development of appropriate fitness field test is generally considered to be one of the essential tasks of sports sciences. In athletics, running on a treadmill in a laboratory will only determine the fitness level of the athlete and not train the athlete in pace and speed which is important for success and even setting of records. To our knowledge, there has been no such simulated training programme for athletes to train in pace and speed. A computerised pace setting system for athletics with well-defined pacing levels, which is analogous to the usual form of ergometry, was developed. It has the capacity, pacing and speed required for middle and long distance pacing and running. The preliminary programme was written in the Computer Language c++ (Borland Int.), which allows the flexibility of changing the sequence of light flashes indicating pace (speed) of running. It is hoped that this computerised simulated athletic training system will allow reliable estimates to be made on the speed and pacing of athletes and that it may be used effectively in place of or in addition to laboratory tests.
