Chart types for Physical Testing Team Dashboards

Use Physical Testing Team Dashboard charts to display and compare your team’s testing results in the format that best suits the data you want to review.

Written by Erica Meyer

Each chart type is designed for a different purpose, such as tracking changes over time, highlighting a key result, comparing metrics, or reviewing how results are distributed across a group.

Line charts

Use a Line Chart to track how a metric changes over time.

Line charts are useful when you want to review trends across multiple testing dates, such as improvements, declines, or changes in consistency. When creating this widget, you will select what type of athlete result you would like to see mapped (Sample Using) against the type of group data you want it compared to (Aggregation).

Line charts can be configured on sampling (What data we include) and the Aggregation (Our calculation on that data)

Sampling Options:

  • Each athlete's best result

  • Each athlete's worst result

  • Each athlete's most recent result

Aggregation Options:

  • Best in group

  • Group average

  • Worst in group

To create a Line Chart, use the following steps:

  1. Press Add Widget.

  2. Select the Line widget type.

  3. Name your widget.

  4. Select the Test Type that will be displayed.

  5. Select the Metric to display in the Line Chart.

  6. Configure how the results will be sampled and aggregated.

  7. Review the summary to confirm the chart will show the data you want, then press Add Widget.

KPI tiles

Use a KPI Tile to display one key metric as a large number.

KPI tiles are useful when you want to highlight an important team result, such as the group average, best result, or minimum standard for a selected metric.

To create a KPI Tile, use the following steps:

  1. Press Add Widget.

  2. Select the KPI Tile widget type.

  3. Name your widget.

  4. Select the Test Type that will be displayed.

  5. Select the metric to display in the KPI Tile.

  6. Configure how the results will be sampled and aggregated.

  7. Review the summary to confirm the tile will show the data you want, then press Add Widget.

Scatter charts

Use a Scatter Chart to compare two metrics against each other.

Scatter charts are useful when you want to understand the relationship between two results, such as force and power, or speed and jump height. Each data point represents an athlete’s result, allowing you to compare athletes across the team.

To create a Scatter Chart, use the following steps:

  1. Press Add Widget.

  2. Select the Scatter widget type.

  3. Name your widget.

  4. Select the Test Type that will be displayed.

  5. Select the metrics that will be displayed in the chart in the following order:

    1. A metric for the X-axis.

    2. A metric for the Y-axis.

  6. Configure how the results will be sampled and aggregated.

  7. Review the summary to confirm the chart will show the data you want, then press Add Widget.

Histograms

Use a Histogram to show how results are distributed across your team.

Histograms are useful for reviewing the range and frequency of results within a group. This can help you identify common result ranges, outliers, and how athletes compare to the wider squad.

Histograms can be configured by sampling one of the following:

  • Each athlete's best result

  • Each athlete's worst result

  • Each athlete's average result

  • Each athlete's latest result

To create a Histogram, use the following steps:

  1. Press Add Widget.

  2. Select the Histogram widget type.

  3. Name your widget.

  4. Select the Test Type that will be displayed.

  5. Select the metric that will be displayed in the chart.

  6. Configure how each athlete’s result will be sampled.

  7. Review the summary to confirm the chart will show the data you want, then press Add Widget.

Tables

Use a Table to display testing results in a detailed, structured format.

Tables are useful when you want to review exact values for multiple athletes or metrics. They allow you to compare individual results without relying only on a visual chart.

To create a Table, use the following steps:

  1. Press Add Widget.

  2. Select the Table widget type.

  3. Name your widget.

  4. Select the Test Type that will be displayed.

  5. Select the metrics to include in the table.

  6. Configure how each athlete’s result will be sampled (Best, Average, or Latest).

  7. Review the summary to confirm the table will show the data you want, then press Add Widget.

Choose the right chart type

Chart type

Best for

Line chart

Tracking changes in team results over time.

KPI tile

Highlighting one key team result.

Scatter chart

Comparing the relationship between two metrics.

Histogram

Table

Reviewing exact results for athletes and metrics.

Sampling options

Sampling determines which result is selected for each athlete within the dashboard’s chosen date range.

Sampling option

What it shows

Each athlete’s best result

Selects each athlete’s best result for the metric during the chosen date range.

Each athlete’s worst result

Selects each athlete’s worst result for the metric during the chosen date range.

Each athlete’s latest result

Selects each athlete’s most recent result for the metric during the chosen date range.

Aggregation options

Aggregation determines how the sampled athlete results are combined into one team or group result.

Aggregation option

What it shows

Best in group

The best sampled result across the selected group.

Group average

The average of the sampled results across the selected group.

Worst in group

The worst sampled result across the selected group.

For example, to compare Countermovement Jump peak height against the minimum standard across the team, select Each athlete’s best result as the sampling option and Worst in group as the aggregation option.
