pypermod 1.3.0

A performance modeling package that provides various tools to predict energy expenditure and recovery dynamics of an athlete

pypermod

This python package provides various tools to predict energy expenditure and recovery dynamics of an athlete. The name pypermod stands for Python Performance Modeling.

More details on the purpose of this package can be found in our manuscript A hydraulic model outperforms work-balance models for predicting recovery kinetics from intermittent exercise. You can find the preprint on arXiv.
