Module 2: Data tracking

Checking the file before you use it

The topic

All topics

Before any decision is made on a number, the coach checks the data. Module 2 lists what goes wrong most often, among them GPS that drops out indoors, an optical heart-rate reading disturbed by movement, a sensor that drifts, and a file that is missing or cut short. A missing value and a zero are different facts. Share how you check.

Questions to start from

  • Which data problem do you meet most often?
  • What is your routine for checking a file before it goes into the weekly total?
