Description
Conconi Estimate of Anaerobic Threshold from a TCX File.
Description
Analyzes data from a Conconi et al. (1996) <doi:10.1055/s-2007-972887> treadmill fitness test where speed is augmented by a constant amount every set number of seconds to estimate the anaerobic (lactate) threshold speed and heart rate. It reads a TCX file, allows optional removal observations from before and after the actual test, fits a change-point linear model where the change-point is the estimate of the lactate threshold, and plots the data points and fit model. Details of administering the fitness test are provided in the package vignette. Functions work by default for Garmin Connect TCX exports but may require additional data preparation for heart rate, time, and speed data from other sources.
