cycleRtools (version 1.1.1)

summary_metrics: Summary metrics.

Description

Common summary measures of interest to cyclists.

Usage

ride_time(x, deltat = NULL)
xPower(data)
NP(data)
pwr_TRIMP(data, CP = attr(data, "CP"))
TSS(data, CP = attr(data, "CP"))

Arguments

x

a vector of time values.

deltat

numeric; the typical interval between time values, if NULL a best estimate is used.

data

a "cycleRdata" object, produced from a read_ride function.

CP

a Critical Power value - e.g. CP or FTP.

Value

a single numeric value.

Details

NP calculates a Normalised Power value. "Normalised Power" is a registered trademark of Peaksware Inc.

xPower; Dr. Philip Skiba/Golden Cheetah's answer to NP.

pwr_TRIMP: Power-Based TRaining IMPulse. Calculates a normalised TRIMP value using power data. This is a power-based adaptation of Bannister's TRIMP, whereby critical power (CP) is assumed to represent 90 to the score associated with one-hour's riding at CP, to aid interpretation.

ride_time is a simple function for calculating ride time, as opposed to elapsed time.

TSS calculates a Training Stress Score (TSS). TSS is a registered trademark of Peaksware Inc.
