Charting in Output Sports allows coaches to visualise athlete performance data over time. There are several chart types available, each designed to help analyse different aspects of performance, from individual rep comparisons to long-term trends. This article explains the different chart types and how to use them.
Athlete Charts
To access athlete charts:
Navigate to Athlete Hub
Select the athlete
Choose the chart type you want to view
Athlete charts provide quick insights into an individual athlete’s training performance.
Longitudinal Chart
The Longitudinal Chart allows coaches to monitor an athlete’s performance over time for a selected exercise and metric.
This chart is useful for identifying:
Long-term performance trends
Adaptations to training
Changes in strength, power, or velocity across sessions
Note: Each data point represents the best metric value recorded for that exercise on a given day, depending on the selected aggregation settings.
List of Measurements
The List of Measurements view displays a chronological list of all recorded sessions for the selected exercise. This view allows coaches to quickly review session-level performance data, including:
Date and time of the session
Key performance metrics (e.g., mean power, velocity, force)
Number of repetitions completed
Weight used during the set
Each entry represents a recorded set or session, making it easy to track training history and identify when specific performances occurred.
Expanding a Measurement
Clicking the dropdown arrow on a session will expand the measurement to reveal more detailed information, including:
Full summary metrics for the set
Rep-by-rep performance data
Additional performance metrics such as power, force, impulse, and displacement
This detailed view allows coaches to analyse both overall set performance and individual repetition metrics.
Set Comparison Chart
The Set Comparison Chart allows you to visualise performance rep-by-rep within a set.
This chart is useful for identifying:
Fatigue across a set
Rep consistency
Changes in velocity, power, or other metrics within a set
It displays each repetition individually so coaches can quickly analyse performance trends within a single exercise set.
Profiling Chart (Load–Velocity Profiling)
The Profiling Chart is used to create a Load-Velocity Profile (LVP) for an athlete.
Load-Velocity Profiling helps coaches monitor and profile an athlete’s:
Strength
Power
Velocity capabilities
It can also be used to estimate an athlete’s 1RM.
How to create a Profiling Chart
Go to Athlete Hub
Select the athlete
Select Profiling Chart
Choose the exercise
Select the metric
Select the sets you want included in the profile
Note:
The Profiling Chart automatically uses the best rep from each selected set.
Profiling Chart Comparisons
The Profiling Comparison feature allows coaches to compare load-velocity profiles across different time periods.
This is useful for monitoring:
Training adaptations
Strength improvements
Seasonal performance changes
Examples of comparisons include:
Start vs end of a training block
Pre-season vs mid-season
Previous season vs current season
These comparisons help coaches understand how athletes respond to training interventions and adjust programming accordingly.
1RM Chart
The 1RM Chart displays historical 1RM values recorded for an athlete.
This chart helps coaches:
Track strength development over time
Identify long-term performance trends
Monitor progression across training cycles
Only entered 1RM values will appear on this chart.
Advanced Charting
The Charting section provides more flexible data visualisation beyond the standard Athlete Charts. This tool is particularly useful for analysing long-term trends and relationships between exercises.
Features
With Advanced Charting you can:
Plot up to four exercises for a single athlete on the same graph
Customise date ranges
Adjust data aggregation
Use advanced display settings
Download charts as images
Export raw data as .CSV
View charts in full-screen mode for presentations or deeper analysis
This feature is ideal for coaches who want to perform more detailed performance analysis across training periods.
Viewing Charts in the Capture App
Charting insights can also be viewed in the Capture App through the exercise History tab, allowing coaches and athletes to review performances quickly during or after training sessions.
Note: The Capture App Chart displays the best metric value from the set.
