Alex,
With my list I just wanted to raise awareness on other potential factors which may impact HR, HR goes up/down and Power. Of course genetics belongs to it as well. Just an extension to app4g statement “per-person dependent situation due to how HR lags vs power”.
Unfortunately I haven’t found any posts regarding HR for cycling from Maffetone himself.
My two sons drive a small SW company which provides apps for hospitals. One son has a masters degree in Computer Science the other a master in Medicine. Since more than 15 years they are using AI , they have some expertise. E.g. they say that the application from TR could be easily done with algorithmic programming. I’m not sure if XERT uses AI - probably it’s just an adaptive algorithm and it works fine. Based on this I don’t think AI isn’t the way to go, as well for TODAY TD functionality. The current algorithmic implementation is sufficient from my point of view.
When I am re-thinking, probably a simple approach would be sufficient for TD. Just the two user-parameters for HR up and HR down: currently Prod is 60sec up and 30sec down (Beta 120sec and 60sec down?). The user can figure out what suites him best, regardless what his genetic, his age, his fitness level is, …
This are only my irrelevant thoughts. We may finish this discussion as I don’t want wasting your valuable time for TD development.
Regards
Rolf
