Physical tests
Measure reach, jumps and body composition with standard protocols: authorised people record sessions, the app computes derived values and every athlete follows their own progress.
You create a test session with its date, enter athletes' measurements and the app computes jumps and history. The section is in More → Physical tests; a single player's tests also open from Team → player → Physical tests.
Measurements
The protocol is always at hand in the app (ⓘ button next to each field). Using the same protocol makes comparisons over time reliable.
| Measurement | Unit | Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Height | cm | With shoes |
| Weight | kg | Without shoes |
| Reach 1 | cm | Side of the dominant hand against the wall: arm raised, maximum height reached |
| Reach 2 | cm | Chest against the wall: both arms raised, maximum height reached |
| Sit & Reach | cm | Seated, distance between fingertips and toes (can be negative) |
| Vertec | cm | Approach jump: after a few trials, approach and touch at the highest point |
| Block | cm | Standing jump: after a few trials, knee bend and two-hand jump |
Values computed by the app
| Value | What it is | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| BMI | Body mass index | weight / height² |
| ECR | Approach jump elevation | Vertec − Reach 1 |
| ESR | Standing jump elevation | Block − Reach 2 |
| DdE | Elevation delta | ECR − ESR |
| %MG | Fat mass | From the scale, or estimated |
| %MM | Muscle mass | From the scale, or estimated (from age 18) |
Recording and correcting a session
- Open More → Physical tests and create a new session with the test date.
- Enter the measurements you took: fields you leave blank stay empty.
- Derived values appear as you type.
Useful rules when correcting
- You can use a point or a comma for decimals. A non-numeric value blocks saving with a message.
- Zero is a value. Emptying a field that was already saved deletes that measurement.
- When you edit one measurement, the others aren't resent or rounded.
- Changing only the notes doesn't touch the session date; the date changes only if you pick another day.
- If two people edit the same session at the same time, their changes don't overwrite each other.
Body composition: measured or estimated
- Measured: you enter the values from a bioimpedance scale.
- Estimated: the app uses Deurenberg for fat mass (with an under-15 variant) and Lee for muscle mass (from age 18), from the weight, height, age and sex on the player card.
The origin is shown for each individual value. Estimation runs only when you explicitly choose it, and the app warns you if it may replace a value. Editing, say, Vertec doesn't touch fat mass and muscle mass. If the input data changes, previous estimates are no longer valid; measured values stay separate.
Team view and trends
The team view is a sortable table: for each athlete the latest measurement and the change since the previous one, with ▲▼ arrows. You can filter by position and sort by column. The change in DdE is shown in a neutral colour, because it can increase even when the standing jump gets worse.
Tap an athlete to see all sessions and charts for each metric. From the web app you can export to CSV.
For athletes
Open your player card (in Team it has the "It's you" badge): in the Physical tests section you find your values, progress since the previous test and since the first measurement, and charts. If there's no session yet, the section tells you.
Who can see what
- Data entry and individual cards: people enabled for the Physical tests feature in the team permissions, plus the physiotherapist in read mode.
- Whole-team comparison: reserved to coach and staff.
- Athletes: without extra permissions they see only their own tests. If the coach gives an athlete the Physical tests permission, they can also view other athletes' individual tests, but not their weight training plans.
- Supporters and unrecognised roles have no access.
