Overview
The Step Test Dashboard brings together an athlete’s tagged test sessions to analyse lactate and ventilatory thresholds. Users can select an athlete and test, calculate and save thresholds, and use the results to build heart-rate or power training zones.
Data used
What data is required? Where does it come from?
Test session details:
Date, time, athlete and activity type, recorded in the Summit Session module.
The session must be tagged as a test to appear in the this dashboard.

Tagging a session as a testf first
Before you can pull test data into the step test it needs to be tagged in the session as a test. Use these steps (ideally when creating a session) to tag your session as a test
Navigate to Session module
Create session with high level detail (title, date, time, athletes, activity type)
Create session saved
Click on session
Click edit
Click + Add Tag
Select Tag (Tags will vary based on sport and activity)
Save changes
Sessions will show where a session has been tagged as a test and can be pulled through to the Step Test dashboard
Filtering

Lactate Thresholds
To view Thresholds:
1. Select Sport
2. Curve Fit
3. Enter Log-log restrictor
4. Toggle on/off whether to include baseline
5. Calculate
6. Next select methodology you want to use
7. Then save
We now see on the dashboards the summary. This encourages test data to come in. Which can then help work out training zones etc
Ventilatory Thresholds
Can add different lines / tools to find VT1 and VT2
Set parameters and Save
Include a method
Larger summary will now be produced
Training Zones
1. Select Session (ie VO2 Max Test)
2. Build new zones
a. Select Activity Type
b. Choose variations (as applicable)
c. Select Type (Heart rate or power)
3. Generate Cards
4. Training zones will appear as cards that can be populated
5. Enter Aerobic and Anerobic values
6. Click calculate
