Injury tracking keeps a record of each athlete's injuries next to their training: what was hurt, when, and when they recovered. Injuries are personal health information (PHI), so only staff with PHI access on the team can record or read them. This article covers who can see injuries, recording one, marking it rehabbed, seeing injuries across the team, and how injuries shape training.
Who can see injuries
Recording and reading injuries needs Personal health information (PHI) access on the team, which a manager or a coach with PHI access turns on in the coach's panel. See Staff access for how to grant it.
Can't see injuries?
Without PHI access, the Injuries panel is missing from athlete profiles and Injury is missing from the Record menu. Observers never hold PHI access, whatever the setting says. Ask a manager or a PHI-holding coach on the team to grant it.
PHI access also controls programs prescribed for an injury (see below) and what Flex will tell you about injuries: Flex follows the same rule and won't show injury details for athletes you can't see them for.
The Injuries panel is part of the Injury Tracking & Adjustments feature. If your plan doesn't include it, the panel shows Upgrade to Access and View Plans instead of the list.
Recording an injury
Open the athlete's profile from the Roster and click the + in the Injuries panel (Record an injury, 1 above). You can also click Record in the header and choose Injury.
Pick the Body part. It's required, and it names the injury if you leave Name blank.
Pick the Side, Left or Right. It's only asked for body parts that have a side, such as the hamstring or ankle.
Pick the Injury date (required).
Optionally type a Name, such as "Left hamstring". Left blank, FYTT uses the side and body part.
Optionally click Description to add notes about the injury.
Click Save injury.
The panel closes and the injury appears in the Injuries panel. Body part and side are stored encrypted.
Recording an injury doesn't change the athlete's status. If they're out or in rehab, update their status too (see Athlete profiles).
Marking an injury rehabbed
The Injuries panel lists the injuries that overlap the profile's date range, with active ones first and a count such as "1 recorded · 1 active" at the top. Each row shows:
Active, with how long it's been going on ("Since Sep 12 · 18 days")
Rehabbed, with the injury and rehabilitation dates ("Aug 21 → Sep 20")
When the athlete recovers, click the injury's row, click Mark as rehabbed, pick the Rehabilitation date (1), and click Save. Setting the date resolves the injury. It can't be earlier than the injury date. You can edit any other field the same way.
Rehab it, don't delete it
Delete at the bottom of the panel removes the injury and its description for good, after you confirm with Delete injury. If the athlete has recovered, add a rehabilitation date instead so the history stays on their profile.
Injuries across the team
Roster: the Injuries column (1) shows the body part of each athlete's active injuries, two at most, then a count of the rest. Rehabbed injuries drop off.
Group reports: the filter button's Injuries switch, HIDDEN or SHOWN, adds each athlete's injuries under their name: active ones, plus any rehabbed injury that started in the report's date range. See Reports.
How injuries affect training
While an injury is active (no rehabilitation date), FYTT swaps exercises it rules out for a substitute in the athlete's workouts, following each exercise's injury rules. See Modifiers for how swaps work and Exercises for setting the rules. In the training report, a swapped set is marked Injury swap.
Programs prescribed for an injury
When you add a program to a plan for an athlete with an active injury, the Injury field records the program as an intervention for it (see Plans). Only staff with PHI access see that field and those programs. Afterwards:
the injury's edit panel lists them under Programs prescribed, with their dates;
the program's page shows an Injuries button listing each athlete and injury it was prescribed for.
What athletes see
Athletes don't see injury records. The Injuries panel never appears on an athlete's own profile, even when the report is shared with athletes. They see the result: the substitute exercise in their workout in place of the one their injury rules out.
