How to compare live data with reference values in the Coach app

This article explains how coaches compare live data in the Bar Chart view of the Firstbeat Sports: Coach app with typical values for a sport or with each athlete's previous sessions.

Option 1: Compare with typical values for a sport

1. Open the Bar Chart view. Open Live view, select Bars in the left-hand navigation and choose a metric in the Metric panel.
2. Turn on the comparison. In the Compare panel, select On, then Edit.
3. Choose the typical values. Under Typical values of selected sport, choose a load level (Low load, Moderate load, High load or Game load). Then select the sport and the female or male reference group.
4. Return to the Bar Chart view. The reference values appear as a highlighted range behind the athletes' current values.

Option 2: Compare with athlete history

1. Open the Bar Chart view. Open Live view, select Bars in the left-hand navigation and choose a metric in the Metric panel.
2. Turn on the comparison. In the Compare panel, select On, then Edit.
3. Choose the history. Under History per athlete, choose Show all session data or Show specific session data. For specific session data, select the session title, such as GD-2 or Game, and narrow the comparison with the date range and session-type filters where available.
