How to create laps in Sports Cloud

This article explains how coaches can create laps in Firstbeat Sports Cloud with the Lap Management tool. A lap is a selected time period within a session, for example a drill, for the athletes you select.

  • Use the same lap name for similar laps in different sessions. In Data Export, you can then filter by lap name to compare the laps over time.
  • If you use the same lap name several times in one session, Sports Cloud numbers the laps automatically.

Before you start

  • Lap Management in Sports Cloud requires Sports Premium or Sports Premium+.
  • The training session must exist in Sports Cloud. Laps are created within a session.

Steps

  1. Open the session. Log in to Sports Cloud at https://sports.firstbeat.com, select the day and select the session below the main chart.
  2. Select the time period. Highlight the time period in the heart rate chart. The lap tools open below the chart, where you can adjust the Start, End or Duration or zoom in and out.
