Workout metrics and reorganization of sections
planned (tbd)

I would like to suggest some improvements for the workouts sections:
- it would be useful to see in the activity section in the monthly, weekly and annual summary section the average calories burned per workout instead of the total, the average duration of the workouts instead of the total duration and the number of workouts done in the current month/week/year, comparing them with the previous week and month, removing the distance tab which for those who work out in the gym is always at 0
- In the training tab it would then be useful to see the different heart zones by coloring the graph differently; integrate a graph for cardiac recovery in the minutes after training; integrate how that training impacted the training load and recovery time (how much we should rest after that training); integrate an index of training intensity based perhaps on training time, calories burned, calories burned per hour, average and maximum heart rate; integrate a metric corresponding to fitness in Athlytic to show if the training is improving our state of shape... and integration with applications such as "Strong" simply taking the name of the training (for example lower or upper) thus allowing to compare similar workouts and only the total kg lifted, to be reported as a metric. Obviously importing every data for sets woud be amazing, but if it is not possible also total kg lifted and workout name.
- finally it would be nice to see in the annual section for each month a number that indicates how many workouts have been done (and the average strain for that month) at a glance so se can compare quickly other montths and in the list of workouts instead of showing the complete time and date, show the strain with an arrow to indicate whether it is above or below average, the calories burned, and the kg lifted.
I know it's a lot of things but I think the understanding of the workouts would improve infinitely

Training Intensity

Intensity of training : Do we have the option to find this somewhere? I like to look at my last workout vs average of other workouts for same type.

Tomek Gniewko Bielak Training intensity is your Strain score. We're adding a feature that will allow you to compare Strain score of different workouts over time soon.

Grey Hi grey,
Please look at my photos below, strain and training intensity are two different things.
Grey
Tomek Gniewko Bielak: Yup, I saw. Tbh, I don't understand the difference between intensity and Strain here. It feels like another number that doesn't add much to Strain.
What do you want to see from an "intensity" number?

Best to explain it this way,
X amount of strain can =
A) longer lower intensity training
B ) shorter higher intensity training
Does that make sense?
Grey
Tomek Gniewko Bielak: That makes sense. Let me think a bit about this because I want to make sure it doesn't confuse others to introduce another very similar metric to Strain.

Grey this should be just inside your individual workout not on main page or anything.

Tomek Gniewko Bielak I disagree — this can be seen via changes in training load (which hopefully will be more visible on the activity page soon). I think that you don’t need a CTL/ATL score but it would be beneficial to see load focus ratio/type per workout so we can see how each workout is classified.

I think the average duration makes sense on the week, month and year activities view. But should be as well as a total as I find the total really useful to see how much exercise I have done each month. It does show you the average duration of exercise per day?
Maybe each of the sections labelled Duration, Avg Strain, Total Energy and Distance could have drill downs that display more stats such as longest activity, shortest activity, average activity duration.
Same again for calories ect.

Hi Giorgio, thank you for the suggestions. This is something that's on my roadmap. A couple of things that you mentioned will be improved soon such as:
- Color coding HR chart: https://feedback.supersethealth.com/feature-requests/p/color-coded-heart-rate-plot-in-activity-view
- Strength training sets will be included in: https://feedback.supersethealth.com/feature-requests/p/strength-training-strain. You won't be able to import data from Strong but can use Superset to track your strength training workouts.
As for the other items, I'll add it to the roadmap and use this ticket to track
