How to merge measurements in Sports Cloud

This article explains how to merge (join) two or more measurements into one measurement in Firstbeat Sports Cloud. Merging lets you analyze a session that was recorded in parts, for example the two halves of a game, as one complete measurement.

Before you start

  • The measurements must be recorded within 1 hour of each other. Trim & Merge shows only compatible measurements recorded within 1 hour.
  • The measurements must be of the same type. To merge a Quick Recovery Test (QRT) with an exercise, first change the Type of the QRT in Measurement settings to an exercise type, for example Training.
  • You cannot merge a measurement that has heart rate variability (HRV) data with a measurement that has only heart rate (HR) levels, for example a Garmin measurement without R-R interval (RRI) data.
  • Sports Cloud fills the gap between the measurements with zero (non-training) values, so average intensity metrics such as training impulse per minute (TRIMP/min) and Movement Intensity are less accurate for the merged measurement. See How gaps are filled when measurements are merged.

Steps

  1. Open the measurements list. Log in to Sports Cloud at https://sports.firstbeat.com, select the day and click the Measurements button under the Daily Chart.
