Performance tests, or just "tests" for short, are a way to record, manage and evaluate performance measurements of athletes in a structured way. Results from a test may be used to individualize workouts.
Click "Tests" in the main navigation bar to see a list of all available performance tests. You can search the tests by name and configure how they are ordered by clicking the button below the search input.
Create a new test using the button in the upper right. To edit an existing test, select it from the list and then click the "Edit" button.
Edit a test
On the "Edit" page, you'll find input fields for name and description (optional) of the test.
Parameters
The configuration of Test Parameters is the most important part. They define what the results of your test are. You have to add at least one test parameter.
For each parameter, you can select whether high or low values are better. This will help the app to sort results in a meaningful way.
Additionally you can configure to record an optional note with your test results.
If you're missing a test parameter, you (or the administrators of your environment) can add them on the Admin page for Test Parameters. If you remove a test parameter for which already some results have been recorded, these results won't will not show up for the test anymore. They "disassociated" from the test but still available for individualizing workouts.
Test Variables
Test Variables (optional) describe how the test should be done. They can be used to specify i.e. the duration for a Cooper Test.
Exercise
You can also link a test to an exercise. This is necessary if you want to use the test to record results for an "exercise specific" test parameter. Read more in the "Individualize with Testing" article.
All changes have to be saved manually by clicking the green Save button at the bottom.
