At the determined places of the playing field the additional light zones are created by the light-dynamic illumination, the athlete is given a task to respond to the determined changes of the additional light zones. The athlete, seeing the changes subject to responding, sets a conditioned sound or visually visible signal. Movement of the athlete is shot using a camera with a microphone positioned at a determined height above the playing field. The video image and the signal from the microphone are transmitted to the software-hardware complex, which records the number of going above the border of the allowed band by the athlete or the sports equipment, the athlete is evaluated by the number of going above the border of the allowed band by the athlete or the sports equipment.
