Join Catapult’s Nichol Forbes as he talks through how to make use of Maximal Intensity Intervals in the OpenField Cloud and Console.
____________________________________

In this video, I’m going to be looking at

the max intensity intervals in OpenField, cloud and console

and talking about how we can view the most

demanding passages of games or your individual periods.

So to start with, I’ve created a new dashboard and

I’m just going to use the wizard to create a

table that’s going to look at the max intensity interval.

So I’ll click into table here, and then once

we get into the parameters section, you can scroll

down to find maximum intensity intervals here and we

can add the values or the parameters for interval

one, interval two, and interval three for distance.

I’ll talk about what these refer to in

a moment, but please note you can also

get this data for player load as well.

You will also see if you want to look at the start

and end time of the, of each of these intervals as well.

You can put this information in as well,

but for the time being, we’re just going

to look at the intervals themselves.

So I’ll click next and create, and finish

creating this table for the maximum intensity intervals.

And once this comes out, you’ll see this kind

of information where we can see the distance and

player load information for each of the intervals.

And what each of the intervals refer to

is the amount of time that has passed

for each, for each moment of the game.

So interval one refers to every 1 minute,

interval two refers to every three minutes, and

interval three refers to every five minutes.

Now, you can rename the parameters if you prefer,

rather than saying interval one, two and three.

You could put it as 1 minute, three

minutes and five minutes if you wish to.

Also, you can change this.

This isn’t a mandatory field.

You can change the amount of time that

is housed in, within each, within each interval.

And I’ll come on to later and show you how

we can do that at the end of the video.

But essentially this is how you can view the

data in the OpenField cloud and if you wanted

to look at the information for one particular period.

So for example, if I was to click

on the small sided game, you’ll see that

the data will change based on when that

players individual maximum intensity interval was achieved.

Okay, so that gives a good summary of how

we can view the data for an entire activity

or for a specific period or half.

Now you can take this information even further if

you want, by coming into the OpenField console.

And if you want to, to look at

other parameters that happen within that, within that

time period of the maximum intensity intervals.

You can find it a lot

more easily in the OpenField console.

For example, what you can see here is I’ve

got a table set up that’s going to look

at and analyze the maximum intensity intervals.

If you want to create this table, all you

need to do is just right click into the

area at the bottom and search for events and

efforts here and then go for maximum intensity intervals.

You have the option, as I said

before, for distance and player load.

So you can click one of them to create this table.

This particular one is looking at distance and as you

can see you get the distance value for the session,

or at least for the maximum intensity interval portion, as

well as the maximum velocity that was achieved during that

time and what you will also see as well.

So I’ll just actually click into

the small sided game part two.

You will see that the data will also

change depending upon when, what period was selected

and when that interval was achieved.

But in this example, I’m just going to

look at the entire session as a whole.

And what we can see from player

eleven is that he achieved his maximum

intensity interval during the medium sighted game.

Now we can take this a step further and if

I actually click on this time, you will see that

the cursor has moved to that portion of the training.

So we can see that for the 1 minute, for

the three minutes here and for the five minutes I’ll

use the three minutes for the time being.

And what we can do from here is create

an annotation that’s going to create kind of a

dummy period that we will use to find out

more information about this, about this time here.

So to create this annotation, I’m just

going to right click into our activity,

come down to add annotation layer.

And now what we can do is we can hold

Control and T over the area that the maximum intensity

interval started and bring it across until it ends.

You can see the time in the background

and I know this lasted for around, until

around 15, until around 1524, like that.

And after creating, if the player was

selected in the active players, you’ll see

that he becomes pipped into this annotation.

Now what the annotation does is it means you can

see the data in the annotation without having to pip

him into a new period or anything like that.

Also when you sync this to the cloud, you

can still see the data for the overall period

and separately in a different table, you can see

the data for the annotation as well.

But what I’m going to do is I’m just

going to click into the activity and then click

back into the annotation we just created.

And then I’m going to create a new table and

that’s going to look at some of our other information

that we want to see about this, about this parameter.

So I’ve just finished creating the

table, as you can see.

And what we can see here is some of

the information that comes through from the annotation.

So I’ve chosen to look at the

likes of high speed distance and distance

per minute across this three minute period.

And we can find out any other information as

well by going to the widget settings wheel and

choosing the parameter you want from this list here.

But that would be a good way to

view the data in this three minute period

to see what his high speed running was.

For example, information we can’t

find in the table above.

Now, if you’ve created, if you’ve created your annotation

and you see that it’s slightly not at that

three minute mark, or maybe you want to change

the name of it, you can edit the annotation

similar to how you would with a normal period.

So if I go to edit, I can edit the time here

to make sure that it’s definitely looking at every three minutes.

And as I said, we can also change the name.

So I’m going to call this

MII three minutes player level.

And that would be a very good way to

view that data for the annotation for this individual.

As I said, you can sync this into the cloud

and view the annotations in the cloud as well.

However, this would be a very good way

if you want to do some further research

about what the metabolic power is.

For example, within this time period,

you can see that information here.

Finally, I just want to show you

how you can change the intervals.

So if you didn’t want to have it

as 1 minute, three minutes and five minutes,

you can change these intervals if you wish.

So all you need to do is come to

the OpenField cloud, come to your teams section, and

then go to the selected team that you want.

So in this case, I’m going to be using Catapult Sport.

Then if I scroll down so far, you’ll

find that you have the options here for

maximum intensity intervals, distance one, distance two and

distance three, and the same for player load.

Bear in mind that these are in seconds.

So if you wanted to change it to, let’s say

you wanted to change it so it was at 1

minute, two minutes and three minutes for each of the

intervals, we would have to change this by the seconds.

So we’d have 60 seconds, 120 seconds, and 180 seconds.

After that, just press save changes and those

new intervals will be applied in your account.
