Advanced Trainings

Advanced trainings can be preprogrammed manually or by the personal trainer

Multiple training phases (e.g. warm-up, intervals, cool-down). Each phase:– is either target time or distance– is assigned a target pace– can include a recovery phase

Personal Trainer

Creates personalized training programs based on:• Target race (10K, Half or full marathon)• Target time• Current condition (5 or 10K time)• Training days

Dynamically modifies trainings based on physical recovery assessed with Heart Rate Variability

Feedback:• Each training is evaluated against what

was programmed. Phases score differently based on importance (e.g. intervals more important than warm-up)

Trainings can be modified based on current condition (reduce effort by 10%, delay by 1 day, cancel)

Physical Recovery Assessment

Marco Altini – Armour39 Challenge, Digital Future Show – April 11th, 2014

Physical Recovery Assessment

Based on Heart Rate Variability

• insights in the control mechanism of the cardiovascular system– autonomic regulation through the activity

of sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways of the ANS

• Heavy training is responsible for shifting the cardiac autonomic balance toward a predominance of the sympathetic drive

Marco Altini – Armour39 Challenge, Digital Future Show – April 11th, 2014

Physical Recovery Assessment

• 60 seconds HRV test implemented on the phone:– RR-intervals correction– Time and frequency features– Linear interpolation and hamming windowing for

frequency features

• Paced breathing – 8 breaths/minute to improve reliability/repeatability

(effect of respiration on HRV)

• Output: easy to interpret number between 1 and 10

• Compared against previous measurement and baseline (5 of the last 7 days)

VO2max Estimation

Marco Altini – Armour39 Challenge, Digital Future Show – April 11th, 2014

VO2max Estimation

Estimate level of cardiorespiratory fitness during training

• works similarly to submaximal vo2max tests, i.e. heart rate at a specific intensity can be used to estimate maximal oxygen uptake

• age-correction and localization of stationary heart rate implemented
