Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of calculating athlete performance, comprising: receiving at the processor information relating to records of the athlete's prior training sessions and prior performances; calculating, using the processor, training stresses associated with each of the prior training sessions, wherein the training stress accounts for a duration and intensity of the training session; calculating, using the processor, a positive training effect and a negative training effect associated with each of the prior training sessions according to the equations: wherein k deriving a past performance value for each prior training session, wherein the past performance value equals the positive training effect minus the negative training effect; calculating, using the processor, a predicted positive training effect and a predicted negative training effect for at least one time in the future; deriving a predicted performance value for the at least one time in the future by subtracting the predicted negative training effect from the predicted positive training effect; converting the predicted performance value into a percentile (PPP) by computing: wherein PP is the predicted performance value for the at least one time in the future, |MinPP| is the absolute value of a lowest predicted performance value, SCALEFACTOR is a constant, and MaxPP is a highest predicted performance value.
