When a session recording has been activated, a session timer will be visible in the Live View at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

By pressing the STOP button, you are given a choice to discard the session or to save it. The session timer is reset if you discard the session. Training data is not deleted.

Session timing can include any athlete data “seen” by the app during the session recording. In other words, the session timer does not limit the start and end times for the session - available training data does.

For example, if you start a session recording in the middle of a training session, you can still set the start of the session to the appropriate earlier time assuming that there is training data available from when the training session began.

In the Session Details dialog, you can set the following session parameters:

• Time period: start and end times. Use the slider and buttons to set the times.

• Sport: Select a sports type. You can create new sports types in the Sports Cloud.

• Notes: Write session notes. Notes are for short remarks and can be a maximum of 250 characters in length.

• Athletes: Select the athletes that participated in the training session. You can only choose from athletes that have training data available.

     

When you save a session, you are reminded to download and sync data from the Sensors and Sports Cloud.

It is possible to download and sync data in chunks. Athlete data synced to the Sports Cloud later is automatically added to the session when data is available.

 

Home Screen Session Sync Status

Home Screen


On the home screen, you can see the session data download and sync status for each team. This view helps you to track the data download and sync status to get all data downloaded.

Session sync statuses are team specific. Select a team to see recent sessions and their data sync status.

If the Firstbeat Sports: Coach app has an online connection, it checks the data sync status from the Sports Cloud. If Sensor data has been downloaded and synced using some other device (e.g. an athlete's mobile phone or other iPad), the sync status is visible on all devices. This helps the downloading process in case several devices are used.

Sending incomplete group reports

In case some data is not yet downloaded and synced, it's possible to send an incomplete group training report. This helps coaches to analyze the training session immediately after the training if needed. An incomplete report is generated using the data that is available on the Sports Cloud.

To use the report sending feature, you need to have the group reporting setting turned on for the logged-in Coach. Reporting settings are managed on the Sports Cloud under the Coach profile settings. In case reporting for the selected team is turned off, the Firstbeat Sports: Coach app shows a notification, and reporting sending option is disabled.

It is also possible to send incomplete (or complete) reports on Sports Cloud.

Sessions since the last seven days are visible on the Firstbeat Sports: Coach app home screen. If you wish to hide a session from the home screen, you can select "hide this notification". This does not delete any measurements or sessions, just hides to session from the home screen.

Additional Information

• The maximum session length is 12 hours.

• The Firstbeat Sports: Coach app only allows session duration based on available athlete measurement start and end times. It is not possible to create a 12-hour session if only 1 hour of measurement data is available. In other words, if the earliest measurement has started at 10:00 am, it is not possible to set the session start time to 08:00 am in the app.

• It is possible to use multiple devices at the same time to create sessions.

• New Sports types can be added in the Sports Cloud.
