ORB Sport metrics explained.

ORB Sport combines physiological, motion and impact information so athletes can review a session from more than one angle. Use this library to understand what each metric represents and how it fits into the wider session view.

01

Heart Rate

Review how cardiovascular effort changed through a recorded session.

Heart Rate Chart

A session timeline showing how heart rate changed during different phases of activity. Gaps can indicate periods when the mouthguard was not recording.

Heart Rate Zones

A colour-coded view of time spent across personalised exertion zones, from lighter activity through to very intense effort.

Heart Rate Details

A summary of average, maximum and minimum heart rate, together with the most active zone for the session.

02

Difficulty

Add the athlete’s own perception of how demanding the session felt.

Rate of Perceived Exertion

A post-session score from 1 to 10 that records the athlete’s personal assessment of workout intensity.

03

Workload

Bring session duration, difficulty and heart-rate information into one demand indicator.

Session Workload

An estimate of the stress experienced during activity, derived from session duration, logged difficulty and heart-rate information.

04

Movement

Explore responsiveness, mobility and changes in activity intensity.

Movement Intensity

A timeline that highlights periods of greater movement relative to quieter periods, normalised between 0 and 1.

Average Movement Intensity

A session-wide average calculated from the movement-intensity timeline.

Movement Intensity Zones

The percentage of recorded time spent at high, medium and low movement intensity.

05

Distance

Review step-led activity and an estimate of distance travelled.

Steps Chart

A timeline of steps through the session that helps show periods of higher and lower physical movement.

Distance Details

A summary of total steps and an estimated distance based on the athlete’s height, estimated stride length and recorded steps.

06

Impacts

Review recorded linear g-force events and where they were detected.

Linear Resultant G-Force

A session graph combining linear forces across the X, Y and Z axes to show recorded impact events over time.

Impact Region

The percentage of detected impacts associated with the left and right sides of the head.

Impact Region Difference

The percentage-point difference between impacts detected on the left and right sides.

Using your metrics

Review the whole session, not one number.

Individual metrics are most useful when considered together and in the context of the activity, athlete, product use and applicable professional guidance.
