New* Adult Fit Factor: Rating 1 - 5

Ratings from 1 (Low level, instructional, low challenge of speed and movement, slight perspiration, regular breathing) to 5 (challenge of speed of reaction, movement, recovery, high volume drill or high intensity play, hear yourself breathing, lots of perspiration)
