Training with Spleeft: Coaches & Personal Trainers
Creating Tags for Different Athletes
Managing multiple athletes can be complicated without the right system. With Spleeft, you can assign custom tags to each athlete, making it easy to filter and track their training and progress.
Spleeft tags allow you to monitor several of your athletes easily and quickly in one touch, just change the tag with the name of one athlete to another, and your data will be automatically filtered, sorted and saved.
Steps to Tag Your Athletes:
Assign a tag to each athlete: When setting up a training session in Spleeft, create a tag with the athlete’s name (e.g., #John or #Sarah). This allows you to easily sort their data later.
Apply the tag: During the workout, make sure to apply the tag to the sets or exercises performed by that athlete.
Filter by Athlete:
Once tags are assigned, you can filter the data by athlete in the Trends tab. Simply select the athlete’s tag in the search bar or filtering menu, and Spleeft will show only that athlete’s data. This makes it easy to track individual progress over time and compare results across different training sessions.
Using Tags for Exercise Variations (e.g., Right Leg/Left Leg)
When working with unilateral exercises (such as lunges, split squats, or single-leg movements), it’s crucial to track each side of the body separately to identify potential imbalances. Spleeft allows you to create tags for specific variations, such as #RightLeg and #LeftLeg, to help monitor performance on each side.
Steps to Tag Exercise Variations:
Create tags for each variation: For exercises that involve one side of the body, create specific tags (e.g., #RightLeg, #LeftLeg, #RightArm, #LeftArm).
Apply the tags during each set: This will enable you to track the performance (velocity, power, strength) of each side independently.
Filter by Exercise and Body Side:
When reviewing the data, you can filter by tags like #RightLeg or #LeftLeg to see performance specific to that side. For example, by selecting #RightLeg, you’ll only see workouts that involved the right leg, allowing you to quickly identify any imbalances or performance differences between sides.
Benefits of Using Tags in Spleeft
For personal trainers, tags provide a powerful way to manage and analyze data across multiple athletes and exercise variations. Here’s how they can help:
Organization: Tags help you keep a clean and structured database of each athlete’s workouts, making it easy to access and review data when needed.
Quick Filtering: Tags allow you to filter through large amounts of data to focus on specific athletes, workouts, or variations without losing valuable insights.
Comparative Analysis: Using tags, you can compare performances between different athletes or between exercise variations (e.g., right leg vs. left leg), allowing you to adjust training to balance strength or improve weaknesses.
Practical Example of Using Tags
Let’s say you’re coaching three athletes—John, Sarah, and Mark—and you want to track their progress in unilateral exercises like the split squat. Here’s how you can organize the data using tags:
Assign Tags to the Athletes:
#John
#Sarah
#Mark
Tag for Exercise Variations:
For John’s split squat on his right leg, apply the tags #John and #RightLeg.
For Sarah’s lunges on her left leg, apply the tags #Sarah and #LeftLeg.
Filter the Results:
To analyze John’s performance on right leg exercises, filter by #John and #RightLeg. This will show only his reps and velocities for that side.
To compare Sarah’s right and left leg performance, filter by #Sarah and review her results for #RightLeg and #LeftLeg separately. This allows you to assess whether there’s any strength imbalance between her legs.
