Hallo Tom, da diese Option zur Aufzeichnung angeboten wird, sollte diese auch ausgewertet werden, da sie ein sehr wichtiger Beurteilungsfaktor ist. Diese jetzt hier auszuführen, fällt mir schwer, daher siehe bitte: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzfrequenzvariabilit%C3%A4t
The problem with the R-R intervals is that they need to be recorded seperately. Usually all training data is a time based function: heartrate = f(time)
If you want to record the R-R intervals, this would mean using a seperate data structure, e.g.
heartbeat1_timestamp;
..
..
heartbeatN_timestamp;
As I've found out some software (exactly ORTO Science and Expert, supposedly Firstbeat) uses that format, I don't know why, probably because R-R info is more exact and is about 2-3 times more frequent heart information then heartbeat rate in RunGPS' csv file.
R-R is also being used during functional test, because their algorythms are usually spring from cardiology science which usually deals with raw sensors data.
Actually I don't think that there is such a big advantage of using R-R intervals over using the heart rate ... do you have a different opinion on this? Why do you need the R-R intervals?
Actually I'm in the process of software evaluation. There are several options, I will prepare information about file formats as soon as I get it from developers, but I expect that their requirements are different...
Anyway it would be great to have an option to get at least raw R-R interval data (duration of each heartbeat?) which is probably used for consecuent calculations of RunGPS heartbeat rate.
It's not possible yet. But we can add it to the feature request list. Are there other users, who need this? What programs do you use? Which file format? Please post a link to the file format specification.
As I can see, most analysis software expect csv files to be in R-R file format (Firstbeat ATHLETE).
HxM actually generate R-R interval data, but RunGPS delivers just beat per second.
Is there any way to get the required data?
I just tried TrainingPeaks WKO+ application (http://home.trainingpeaks.com/wko-desktop-software/trademarked-training-metrics.aspx) to analyse training data, but did not managed to import data exported to .csv format by RunGPS.
WKO+ rejected this data with message "unable to determine file format".
Which problem is it: RunGPS or WKO+?
Are there any opportunity to use training analysis software with RunGPS data? Does anybody know any software which can work with RunGPS data (including HxM) and analyse it in similar detailed way?
Actually the most interesting is availability of following indicators:
• Training Stress Score (TSS)
• Intensity Factor (IF)
