FYTT's athlete mobile interface enables athletes to access their individualized training prescriptions, record their activities, and track their progress on key metrics. This helps coaches deliver a great athlete experience either through remote training or enhanced in-person training.

The mobile interface is available through both iOS and Android apps, as well as through any mobile browser. Every athlete can be invited to join FYTT with their own personal account that they can use for the mobile interface to access their individualized training content.

Training schedule

Perhaps the most foundational function of the mobile interface is to deliver training to athletes. FYTT has been designed to help coaches deliver the right training to the right athletes in a format that is easy to follow and record activities.

Sessions

When an athlete opens the app, they are taken directly to the schedule page. This is where athletes will see any sessions that are assigned to them for the day. Athletes have the option to preview the session to see what it entails, or they can start the session to begin training and recording.

Workouts

Starting the session takes the athlete to the workout recorder for first workout in the session. The workout recorder lays out each set in the workout so that the athlete can record them one at a time.

Recording a set as complete will check off the set and advance the form to the next set. As the athlete goes along, they can change the values for exercise parameters if their actual results are different from the prescription.

Training compliance

When an athlete records a value that varies from the prescription, that variance is noted on the set. Variances are be visible to coaches on the digital whiteboard for a session, as well as in the training report for an athlete. (See the calendar guide for more information about the whiteboard tool.)

If the athlete wants to simply record all the sets as complete, they can use the "complete all & continue" button to complete the workout and advance to the next one. Otherwise, they can mark each set as complete individually, then click the "save as-is & continue" button to continue to the next workout.

Exercise history

For every set, the athlete can see their 10 most recent data points for the given exercise. This gives athletes visibility into their past performance so that they have context for the current prescription.

Exercise videos & descriptions

If you've added a video or description to any of the exercises used in the workout, that information will be displayed to athletes for each set.

Just-in-time individualization

Workout sets are individualized on a "just-in-time" basis, meaning that prescriptions are calculated using the athlete's current data at the time the workout is performed. This is particularly relevant if an athlete is asked to fill out a survey before starting a session, as the results of the survey can influence the contents of the session if it has any dynamic components.

Performance tracking

At the core, FYTT is all about delivering measurable improvements in health & performance. Keeping athletes motivated, engaged, and accountable is a key component of accomplishing that goal. Coaches have a number of tools to give athletes visibility into their performance progress.

Performance hub

Athletes have a Performance Hub that they can access on the mobile interface where they can access the metrics and reports that coaches have created.

Metrics

By default, any metrics created at the institution will be visible to athletes in the Metrics section of the Performance Hub. This section displays a simple line graph of the athlete's measurements for each metric over time.

If needed, coaches have the ability to turn off the "athlete facing" setting for certain metrics so that athletes do not see them. This setting can be adjust from the Metrics Hub in the web application.

Reports

For any team at the institution, coaches can create customized athlete reports and make them available to athletes in the Performance Hub.

Athlete reports have a few key advantages:

  • Show only the metrics that have been explicitly added to the report

  • Utilize a variety of graph types (line, bar, spider, pie, etc.)

  • Customize the time frame of the report

Messages

Coaches and athletes can communicate using FYTT's messaging capabilities.

Athlete's can only initiate conversations with coaches from their end. Coaches have the ability to initiate conversations at a number of levels:

  • Institution managers can create threads with any athlete, coach, team, or group.

  • Coaches can initiate threads with teams that they have access to, as well as with any groups, coaches, or athletes on those teams.

This makes it easy to send communications to the right people so that everyone gets the information the need.

Leaderboards

Coaches can create leaderboards for the teams they manage to display athlete rankings on selected metrics. These leaderboards are available to every athlete on the team to see where they stand.
