# Trends

## Overview

The trends screen shares the same primary selection component as the Record screen. Any changes made in either screen will be reflected on the other.

This is especially useful within testing sessions. Immediately after an athlete finishes an isometric test, their long term trend is a single tap away.

## Component states

The **Trends** screen will display different information based on the primary selection component.

### Fully selected

Gives you a long term trend chart of the person + test combination in addition to small summaries of each test in a scrollable list below. You can tap on individual tests from the list to expand, view more metrics and adjust onset points.

### Person only selected

Gives you an overview of that person's overall isometric testing. A miniature trend chart is also displayed next to each test. Tap on the test summary cards to select it (and switch to the Fully Selected state)

### Test only selected

Shows a list of the tests of that type that have been performed recently.

## Curve Overlays

This feature lets you overlay multiple force-time traces on top of each other to compare differences visually. This is *especially* useful when coaching athletes to increase RFD. A steeper curve makes much more intuitive sense to athletes than any RFD number.

1. Tap the **Compare** button.
2. Scroll down the list and select the desired tests to overlay.
   1. Keep in mind we could be loading 60,000 data points per test here, so it may start to bog down your phone if you select too many tests.
3. Once satisfied, tap **Cancel** to exit this feature.

Note - the onset point is used to align the charts. If the overlays don't look right, please check the onset points are set at a reasonable point for each test.&#x20;

To edit the onsets from this screen:

1. Tap the **>** symbol next to the desired test to open up detailed view.
2. Tap **Edit Onset** and make adjustments.
3. Save and return to the previous screen.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ascend-labs-1.gitbook.io/ascend-labs-documentation/screens/trends.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
