Targets Explained

This article will explain each of our target settings available on the app and how best to utilise them.

GymAware Targets

GymAware Zones (%)

Fatigue Targets

The GymAware App enables you to set targets for any of the GymAware metrics. These targets can be based on the following:

• Squad Targets
• Individual Athlete Targets
• Personal Best Targets
• Last Repetition Targets
• Percentage (%) Targets

TARGET	EXPLANATION	PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Squad (green)	By selecting squad you will be setting a target for all athletes for a particular exercise As you set the target on one iPad, this will change the squad target for all athletes within that squad on all iPads connected	Utilise the squad target if you are working with a large amount of athletes at one time This will ensure that all athletes are working at the same velocities despite strength levels
Athlete (blue)	By selecting athlete you will be setting a target for only the selected athlete As the athletes change the target will change This target is unique to only the selected athlete	Utilise this target if you are working with a smaller number of athlete(s) at one time Great target to use with injured/ rehab athletes that are not completing the same program as the rest of the squad
Personal Best (yellow)	The 'PB' target cannot be changed by the coach This target is based on the best rep that one athlete has completed at a certain weight	Utilise the 'PB' target along with a range (e.g. 90%) to see if an athlete is able to work close to their best. Alternately if an athlete exceeds their PB then a new record will be automatically recorded
Last Rep (orange)	The 'Last Rep' cannot be changed by the coach This target is automatically calculated based on the last time the weight was lifted This target will be blank if no attempts have been made at the selected weight	Utilise the 'Last Rep' target to monitor fatigue during a session The coach is able to see how much the athlete has fatigued if they are unable to achieve the same output as the previous attempt
Zones (%)	This will select a % range for the set If no target is set, the % will be of the best rep of the set If a target is set then it will be a % of this value creating a range	Utilise the % target to provide athletes with a range Monitor fatigue during a set Limit a small % drop for strength/power  Set a large % drop for hypertrophy training
