Trainings<\/strong> consist of either sessions<\/strong> or activities<\/strong>. Sessions<\/strong> are made up of different activities<\/strong> and activities<\/strong> are made up of exercises<\/strong> if needed. So if you want to plan trainings, you have to create activities<\/a>. You can combine them into sessions<\/a> as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take also a look at our tutorial videos Training Planning: Step 3 (Basic Training Planning)<\/a> and Training Planning: Step 4 (Advanced Training Planning)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The training planning for your individual athletes or groups, you do under TRAINING – PLANNING.<\/p>\n\n

Plan a training<\/h3>\n

Before you plan a training, you must first select who you are planning this training for in the purple area above. Select the appropriate group(s) or athletes. It is possible to schedule single or multiple athletes or groups.<\/p>\n

To the left of the calendar you will see your created activities and sessions. Those that you have saved as “My Activities\/Sessions<\/strong>” or “My Favorites<\/strong>“. Click on an activity or session to see its properties. Use the filters to quickly find the desired activity or session.<\/p>\n

Drag the desired activity or session to the desired date in the calendar. In the window that appears, you can change the name, type, location, date, time and duration if necessary and then click on “Save<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tip 1:<\/strong> You can drag and drop a scheduled activity or session to another date.
Tip 2:<\/strong> If an activity only includes one type or method, make sure that these are stored as default in the activity template. This will save you time as you won’t have to select them again each time when planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an *<\/strong> is displayed in front of the activity in the calendar, this indicates that the athlete has changed something about this activity themselves (date, time or duration)<\/p>\n\n\n

Location Check<\/h4>\n

Once you have entered a location, the \u201cAvailability<\/strong>\u201d field appears below it. If you click on it, the system checks whether this location is available on the date and time at which you want to plan the training. A colored bar will show you directly whether the location is available or whether another event is already planned for this time at this location.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

List View<\/h4>\n

You can find more information on the list view functions in the list view article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The copy function in the list view is ideal for copying entire weekly or monthly plans for your athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n

To customize the properties of an exercise, click on the \u201cgear icon<\/strong>\u201d to the right of the desired exercise.
In the window that opens, you will see the four predefined properties: sets, repetitions, weight, and time. Move the sliders for the properties you want to use to the side and enter the corresponding values.<\/p>\n

If you select sets and at least one other property, the \u201cCustomize Sets<\/strong>\u201d option will appear. If you activate this option, you can set the properties individually for each set.<\/p>\n
