vmpy 0.1.6

Performance Velo Metrics Toolbox

VMPY is a toolbox for evaluating typical Cycling Performance Metrics from the ride data e.g. power, heart-rate, velocity, gradient, cadence streams.

All functions within the package do follow the convention, where input/output formats are either traditional Python built-in data structures or are the nd-arrays. This design choice favors easy integration into other projects, e.g. velometria.com

To help you getting started VMPY also provides a very thin wrapper around the Strava API.

Installation

Official release:

pip install vmpy

The bleeding edge work in progress:

pip install git+git://github.com/sladkovm/vmpy.git@development

Scope

The VMPY package provides the following functionality:

streams.py: Streams shape preserving calculations e.g. masking, filtering, zone conversions

metrics.py: Cycling Performance Metrics

strava.py: Python wrapper around the Strava API v3 for fetching Athletes, Activities and Stream data

Usage

>>> from vmpy import strava
>>> stream = strava.retrieve_streams(activity_id=1282167861, access_token=STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN)

>>> from vmpy import streams
>>> power_zones = streams.compute_zones(stream['watts'], ftp=270)
>>> hr_zones = streams.compute_zones(stream['heartrate'], lthr=160)
>>> watts_3sec = streams.rolling_mean(stream['watts'], window=3, mask=stream['moving'])
>>> gradient_wo_outliers = streams.median_filter(stream['grade_smooth'], window=31, threshold=1)

>>> from vmpy import metrics
>>> normalizes_power = metrics.normalized_power(stream['watts'])
>>> time_in_power_zones = metrics.time_in_zones(stream['watts'], ftp=260)

Quick Start

Register Strava App

In order to be able to use Strava API the user App must be registered at the linkhttp://www.strava.com/developers:

Application Name: ex.: My Awesome App

Website: ex.: myawesomeapp.com (can be anything, even your FB or Strava page will do)

Application Description ex.: Just fooling around with some Strava data

Authorization Callback Domain 127.0.0.1 (unless you are building a serious App)

Access Token

The Access Token will be found at the users profile page It will look like this: 83ebeabdec09f6670863766f792ead24d61fe3f9

Access Token must be passed explicitly as an argument to the functions found in strava.py module

Contribution guidelines

This project is absolutely open for contributions. No strong guidelines yet, except for:

1. Don’t push on master branch

2. Test

3. Write docstrings in NumPy style
