How to upload Bodyguard 3 data to Sports Cloud

This article explains how coaches and athletes can upload Firstbeat Bodyguard 3 (BG3) measurement data to Firstbeat Sports Cloud for stress and recovery analysis.

Before you start

• You need Sports Premium or Sports Premium+, and the stress and recovery feature must be enabled on your customer account. If UPLOAD FROM BODYGUARD 3 is missing from the upload menu, the feature is not enabled: contact your account manager. If the feature should already be in your plan, contact Firstbeat Support.
• You need the measurement file with the .gz extension, downloaded from the BG3 device with the Firstbeat Bodyguard 3 Exporter desktop application.
• You can upload one measurement for one athlete at a time.

Steps

1. Open the upload dialog. Log in to Sports Cloud at https://sports.firstbeat.com, click the upload icon (a cloud with an arrow) in the top-right corner and select UPLOAD FROM BODYGUARD 3.
