A lot of workouts are based on individual measurement of the athlete's physiology or their prior performance. There are workouts that specify the exercise's target heart rate based on the athlete's maximum heart rate or a load based on the athlete's one-rep max.
These Test Parameters can be configured to your requirements and connected to tests and exercise parameters.
Manage parameters
From the Admin interface, choose Exercise Parameters to see the parameters available in your environment. You can search by their name (e.g. Heart Rate max) or abbreviation (e.g. "HR max") to find them quickly.
Configure Parameter properties
Units
This describes how the parameter is measured. You can select one or more units that are used for this parameter.
Exercise-specific
If the test result is specific for an exercise (e.g. "load" will be different for most exercises), tick the exercise specific checkbox of that test parameter.
Measurement time
Test results usually refer to a specific day. However, if you want to store an explicit time of day when the measurement was taken, you can activate this option, and when saving measurements for this test parameter, a time stamp can be added.
Recommendations
Adapt
All parameters can be changed to your requirement. Try to use names that are commonly used in your organization to avoid other administrators from adding the same parameter with a different name.Remove unused
If a parameter is not used or does not really change anything in a workout, remove the parameter. Your trainers will thank youAvoid duplicate abbreviations
The abbreviations are shown in the smaller views, such as inside a workout description. Try to be unambiguous with the abbreviations but keep them short.Choose the right unit
If multiple units can be used for a specific parameter, but only one makes sense, try to use this. For time-based parameters, such as a break, most often the unit of measurement is minutes. For mass-based parameters, such as load, choose kg/lbs instead of g/oz.
