Stressfactor

Build Status Code Climate

Calculate workout intensity based on heart rate. Exploratory coding of the Training Stress Score as detailed here:

Calculating the stressor score by run pace and normalized graded pace.

(duration_seconds * normalized_graded_pace * intensity_factor) /
(functional_threshold_pace * 3600) * 100

Define some terms:

duration_seconds: The length of the workout, in seconds

normalized_graded_pace: Adjusted pace for the incline/decline.

intensity_factor: Ratio of NGP / FTP

functional_threshold_pace: Your average pace, "all out" for 1 hour.

Grade Adjusted Pace

More than a quarter century ago, British researcher Mervyn Davies conducted treadmill tests that revealed that each 1 percent of upgrade slowed elite runners by about 3.3 percent.

That’s uphill. Davies also tested downgrades. Not surprisingly, he found that descents don’t give back as much as ascents take away. In fact, they only speed you up by about 55 percent as much as the corresponding upgrades slow you down.

Installation

gem 'stressfactor'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install stressfactor

Usage

$ ./bin/stressfactor analyze PATH_TO_GPX [--units=metric|english]
