Firstbeat Sports | Movement Load and Movement Intensity

Collect and combine Firstbeat's external and internal load data for the most effective way to track development

Internal and external load data are useful on their own. But one without the other gives you only part of the training equation.

Movement Load and Movement Intensity are two new Firstbeat Sports metrics that show your players' external output, add context to internal load data, and fill in the blanks when tracking training adaptations and performance.

What is Movement Load?

Movement Load lets you see the external load produced by an athlete during a session or game.

Three-dimensional acceleration sensors (50Hz) detect and collect all of an athlete's movements.
Accumulates at the highest rate in straight-line running, increases linearly with running speed.
