Feature: Advanced Session Management

The Firstbeat Sports Cloud (Sports Cloud) can be used for creating and editing sessions that were created using the Firstbeat Sports: Coach app or the Firstbeat Sports Monitor.

To add a new session, click the plus (+) icon.

To edit an existing session, select the session then click the Settings cog-wheel icon next to the session button.

Sports Cloud session editing allows you to set the start and end times, select sport type, and athletes included in the session. HR chart lines are shown to help you set the start and end times by showing when athletes were active.

Automated reporting

• An automated group report is sent when data from all the athletes included in the session is available in the Sports Cloud (downloaded from Firstbeat Sports Sensors and synced from the  app to the Sports Cloud). Check your reporting settings if you do not receive the report.

• Data later received by the Sports Cloud is automatically added to the session.

Sessions vs. Laps

You can create laps within a session to drill down into the details of your recorded training session.

Sessions are meant for managing the time frame/duration and participants of a training session whereas laps are suitable for analyzing the actual content of the sessions.

Differences:

1. Dedicated reports are available for sessions (group reports) but not for laps (no dedicated lap reports). Note: Laps are visible in athlete training reports.

2. Unlike for sessions, all variables are not calculated for laps (e.g. Training Effect).

3. Currently, session data is available via Sports Cloud API but laps are not.
