Fractall — GPS and external load dashboard for coachesStart free trial
External load (GPS)

Your GPS data, in the same place as your RPE and wellness.

Import the CSV export from your GPS provider and Fractall charts distance, high-speed running, sprint distance, accelerations and max velocity for every athlete. Compared across the microcycle, matchday by matchday. Sitting beside the internal load you already track.

Fractall GPS dashboard showing microcycle volume by matchday with distance, high speed distance, accelerations, sprint distance and max velocity per session
What Fractall charts

Six external load metrics, straight from your export.

Fractall reads the metrics your GPS provider already records and charts them as session KPIs and microcycle comparisons, without anyone re-typing a row.

Distance

m

Total volume covered in the session. The baseline every other metric gets read against.

High speed distance

m

Metres above your high-speed threshold, and the metric most closely watched for hamstring exposure.

Sprint distance

m

The sharpest end of the running profile, usually the first thing to drop when an athlete is carrying fatigue.

Accel + decel efforts

efforts

The count of accelerations and decelerations. Mechanical load that distance alone hides.

Max velocity

km/h

Top speed reached, useful as a readiness check and as a sprint exposure target.

Player load

AU

The accelerometer-based load figure from your provider, tracked session to session.

Metric availability depends on what your GPS provider exports.

Most clubs with GPS units still can't answer simple questions with the data.

The units are on the athletes. The insight rarely makes it to the coach who plans the week.

The data stays in the provider's portal

You bought the units. The export sits in a separate dashboard that one staff member opens on a Monday, and nobody else in the building sees it.

External and internal load never meet

GPS in one tool, RPE and wellness in another. So the question that matters, whether the running load matches what the athlete says their body is doing, never gets asked.

Merging them costs enterprise money

Platforms that bring both together charge EUR200-500 a month. Clubs your size go without and keep the two data sets in separate spreadsheets.

How it works

From provider export to squad chart in a few minutes.

01

Export the session from your GPS provider

Run your normal post-session export. Catapult, OliverSportAI and StatSports files are handled already, so nothing changes about how you collect the data on the pitch.

02

Import the CSV and link your athletes

Drop the file into the GPS tab and map the athlete names in your export to your Fractall squad. Done once, then your imports line up with the rest of the athlete's record.

03

Compare the microcycle, matchday by matchday

Sessions are labelled MD-3, MD-1, MD, MD+1 and charted together, so you can see how this week's build compares to the last one. Switch between team average and squad max, and pick the metrics you care about.

04

Read the session KPIs and where they're heading

Player load, distance and high speed distance for the session you picked, each with the change against the previous period and a sparkline of the recent trend. The same platform holds session RPE, ACWR, wellness and body pain, so you read the running load and the RPE for one session on one screen.

Squad view

External load for the whole squad, session by session.

What you get

Session KPIs with trend

Player load, distance and high speed distance for the selected session, each with the change against the previous period and a sparkline of where it's been heading.

Matchday-relative comparison

Sessions plot against their position in the week rather than the calendar date. MD-1 this week lines up against MD-1 last week.

Team average or squad max

One toggle switches the whole view between the team's average output and the highest individual figures.

Pick your metrics

Choose which of the six metrics appear on the chart. Coaches who care about accelerations and coaches who care about sprint distance get different views of the same import.

Any date range, any period

Filter by date range and read load at session level or across the microcycle.

Works with the units you already own

Fractall doesn't sell hardware and doesn't lock you to a provider. Catapult, OliverSportAI and StatSports exports are handled already, anything else goes through manual mapping, and we'll automate yours if you ask. If you don't run GPS at all, internal load works on its own.

Common questions

Which GPS providers can I import from?+

Catapult, OliverSportAI and StatSports are supported today. Other providers work as well, through manual mapping when you bring the file in. If you'd rather have your provider's export handled automatically, talk to us and we'll look at building it for you. Send us a sample file if you want us to check yours first.

Do I need GPS units to use Fractall?+

No. Fractall's load monitoring runs on session RPE multiplied by duration, so a club with no hardware gets ACWR, monotony and strain from day one. GPS adds external load on top of that.

Which metrics does Fractall show?+

Distance, high speed distance, sprint distance, accelerations and decelerations, max velocity, and player load. What's available in your view depends on which of these your provider exports.

How do I get my GPS data into Fractall?+

Export the session as a CSV from your provider, open the GPS tab, and import the file. The first time, you link the athlete names in the export to your Fractall squad.

Can I compare GPS load against RPE and wellness?+

Yes. Both sit in the same platform against the same athletes and the same sessions, so you can check whether a heavy running week matches what athletes report in their daily check-in.

Does GPS cost extra?+

No. It's part of the EUR20 per team per month plan, along with every other module.
