How to trim and merge measurements in Sports Cloud?

Accessing the feature

Select the relevant day. Click on the "Measurements" list icon underneath the Daily Chart


This will open all measurements recorded that day either for the team, group/position or athlete depending on what you have selected from the top right corners athlete/team selection. 



Click on the three dots on the right side of the screen and then click "Measurement settings". This will open a dialog with the measurement settings. 

Scroll down to "Trim & Merge"


Trimming of a measurement

You can trim a measurement by moving the sliders at the beginning or end of the measurements or by adjusting start and end time underneath the chart. 

Please note that the changes are irreversible

Note also that a measurement will be removed from a session or from a lap if it doesn't match with the session or lap anymore. 

Merging of measurements

It's possible to merge (join) two or more measurements together if the gap between measurements if not more than 60 minutes. 

• If the editor shows the measurements, then the merge is possible. ​

• If the gap is longer, the measurement is not shown in the editor. 

• Measurements of same type can be merged. Incompatible partsare not shown in the editor.​
  
  Examples:​

• It’s not possible to merge Quick Recovery Test to Exercise Measurement (but you can convert the QRT to exercise and then merge).​

• It’s not possible to merge HRV to non-HRV measurement (RRI to HRlevels). For example, it’s not possible to merge a Garmin measurement that doesn’t have RRI data (HRV data) to a measurement that has RRI data.
  
  You can merge measurements by moving the sliders at the beginning or end of the measurements or by adjusting start and end time underneath the chart. 
  
  
  
  
  
  How is the gap filled? 
  
  Firstbeat Sports is not trying to guess or create training data to fill the gaps between merged measurements. The gap between the merged parts is filled with zero (non-training) values. This means that the gapis not filled with any real training data, but data that is “empty”.​ After this, analysis process is run on the new measurement that also applies artefact correction. This sets what the e.g. the HR levels in the filled gap looks like. ​

  Details:​

• HR values: No RRI/HR is inserted on the gaps, but analysis fills long gaps often with 100 bpm. There is some interpolation (HR decreasing) and flat parts depending on the gap duration.​​

• Movement Load values: 0 (no movement)
  
   
  Example of two merged measurements: First a gradual decrease in HR, then a long period of HR 100bpm / empty data.. This levelof HR typically doesn’t accumulate TRIMP.
  
  Please note: Since the gap between the merged parts doesn’t have “real” training data, the analysis results of the final merged measurement can be affected. For example average intensity metrics like TRIMP or Movement Intensity won't show the correct results.
