How is the color determined for HI Sessions?

Required modules: RefereeLab Core
Required roles: Referee and higher

The HI Sessions criterium is used the help the Coach determine if the Referees are training enough in the high intensity zones.

To evaluate this, the Training Quality Report will evaluate every individual and group training session in the selected 28 day period.

A default threshold of 40 minutes is set by default. For every week that contains more than 1 match per week (mid-week matches), the threshold is decreased by 10 minutes if the referees has at least role Referee or Assistant Referee during both matches (roles 4th official until AVAR are not counted).

After evaluating every individual or group training session, the amount of minutes in trained in heart rate zone 4 and heart rate zone 5 are added. A color code is determined based on the amount of minutes.

  • Green: More minutes than the determined threshold
  • Yellow: More minutes than 50% of the determined threshold
  • Red: Less minutes than the determined threshold

When the determined threshold is 0 minutes or less (meaning there were 4 mid-week matches this month), the Referee will get a green color code automatically.

If your team uses a heart rate zone set configuration containing more than 5 zones, the highest 2 zones will be counted.

Checking HI Sessions

When you want to know more about why a certain color code has been assigned for HI Sessions or want to check the reasoning behind the outcome you can either filter some individual reports or open an individual report.

On the HI Sessions block click the information icon. This will open a modal, giving you more information about the color code.

In this modal you will see the amount of minutes trained in heart rate zone 4 and 5, as well as an overview of evaluated training sessions.

In this example the Referee will get a yellow code, as he/she trained more than 50% of the determined threshold of 40 minutes (24 minutes) in heart rate zones 4 and 5.
