Logging an assessment (coach)

What an assessment is

An Assessment is a structured test record. The Hub recognises about 21 assessment types across six domains (swim, bike, run, body, environment, lab) and stores both the raw inputs you collected and the computed outputs.

Examples:

• 20 minute FTP test (raw: average power, weight; output: FTP).
• 400 plus 200 CSS test (raw: two TT times; output: CSS pace and distance per stroke).
• 10K run time trial (raw: time, elevation; output: threshold pace, vVO2max estimate).
• Body composition (raw: weight, fat percent, segmental; output: lean mass, BSA).
• Metabolic test (raw: lab spreadsheet; output: VLamax, FatMax, crossover).

Where to log an assessment

1. From the athlete's performance dashboard, click New assessment.
2. Pick the AssessmentType (e.g. "20-min FTP test").
3. Fill in the raw inputs the template asks for.
4. Save.

The Hub computes the outputs immediately, updates the athlete's threshold zones if applicable, and writes a PerformanceRecord row for trend tracking.

When zones update

Zone updates happen automatically when an assessment finishes:

• FTP test outputs propagate to the athlete's bike FTP field and recompute power zones.
• CSS test updates swim CSS.
• Run TT updates run threshold pace.

If you want the new zones to apply only from a specific date, set the Effective date on the assessment.

Linking to activities

Many assessments are derived from a specific uploaded activity. On the assessment form, link the activity (search by date and sport) so the raw file is associated.

Reviewing the trend

Each PerformanceRecord row feeds the trend chart on the athlete's sport analytics page. The Hub shows the assessment timeline so you can see how the athlete's FTP or CSS evolves across a season.
