How to Use Athlete Thresholds

Overview Video

What are Athlete Thresholds?

Athlete Thresholds in Vector Live are real-time alerts that notify you when an athlete’s live performance metrics reach predefined limits. These thresholds are configured in the OpenField Cloud and displayed during sessions in the Vector Live app, allowing practitioners to make immediate, informed decisions on the training pitch - such as adjusting intensity, managing load, or enforcing exposure limits - based on live athlete data.

Using Athlete Thresholds in Vector Live 

Once Threshold Sets have been synced from the OpenField Cloud, Athlete Thresholds are available in the Vector Live app during training sessions. Alerts are displayed as athletes approach or exceed their assigned limits, helping you monitor compliance with training plans and respond in real time.

For step-by-step instructions on creating and managing Threshold Sets, see How to Set Up Athlete Thresholds.
