Data Export files and FAQ
Data Export files are the Microsoft Excel files that Data Export in Firstbeat Sports Cloud creates from your team's training data.
Availability
- Sports Premium: summary data (previously called "scalars").
- Sports Premium+: summary data, time series data, root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) data and R-R interval data (the time between consecutive heartbeats).
- If the time series selection is grey, your account does not have access to time series export. To upgrade, contact your account manager.
Output files
- Summary data for several measurements, sessions and laps comes in one file.
- Time series and R-R data come in one file per measurement.
- Files are in Excel format. Several files are compressed into one zip file.
Data included in an export
- One export covers one team and a maximum of one month, and can include Exercises, Quick Recovery Tests and Stress & Recovery data.
- Every export includes all available variables, laps, sessions and notes.
- Sports Premium+ time series exports also include RMSSD data, R-R data and athlete profile information.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to export the data?
Exports are processed in a queue on a first in, first out basis. Small exports are usually ready within one minute, and large exports can take several minutes. If the export does not complete, refresh the page and start the export again, or use a private browser window.
Why do EPOC and TRIMP time series have the same value for every five seconds?
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and training impulse (TRIMP) are updated every five seconds. Data Export exports EPOC and TRIMP at a one-second sampling rate to keep all time series data consistent.
Can I log out or close the browser while a data export is running?
Yes. Exports are processed in the background. Export files are stored for 30 days and then removed from the server.
Can other coaches in the same account see my exports?
No. The list of exports is specific to each user account.
