AI for holistic athlete performance and wellbeing / Personalised performance
Sports research objectives/questions
How can the cyclical nature of women’s training and wellbeing data be better visualised to enhance ongoing understanding and learning?
- Normalise female cycle data for the representation of repeated patterns.
- Develop an open source novel 360 degree visualisation tool with easy to use viewing windows for past, present and future for optimal user experience and learning of personal traits which may be hormonally influenced in response to the individual’s hormonal profile.
- By improving the visualisation of predictive modelling (what is likely to occur in the next viewing window) is it possible to both enhance the user experience and informed decision making regarding, recovery, performance and menstrual cycle management.
