Cycling Training Tools
Ethan KopaczCS 470
System includes
• A training schedule generator• A training log book• A few small tools that aid in training or
racing
BackgroundRepetitive Training - The same work-out a few days week - The training level stays the same through the year- As time progresses the athlete abilities reaches a plateau and stops progressing
Systematic Training- A number of different workouts- Each workout is building towards a goal.- Typically an athlete or a coach must compose a training schedule for a four week training
period- Each training day has a different focus. (i.e. Over distance, Intervals, Endurance, Race)- A training log is used to track the athlete’s progress over a number of years
Why?Problems in current system:• Time
- Creating a training schedule can take a large amount of time. - Working athletes, students, or parents don’t have the extra time to sit down and create a training schedule
• OrganizationIn order for this system to be useful, the schedule and the training log must be well organized
• Large amounts of information keepingIdeally the athlete will have a log for everyday throughout their athletic history
A computerized system is the ideal solution
Software and Languages• C#
• SQL
• Visual Studio.NET
• .NET Framework
• Microsoft Access

Schedule Generation Changes• Original plan
– Give the user specific train times, and distances– Doesn’t work without VO2 Max
– VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters, one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight
– VO2 Max is difficult to calculate
• Revised plan– Schedule give less specific information– Gives a simple method to find the right training intensity– This plan is much easier for new athletes, although still useful to
advance users– Based on a four week plan
The four week system
• The time between the start date and the date of the training goal are divided into four week sections
• The sections consists of Base, Intensity, Race and Restoration
• Each four week section is repeated with a higher intensity level until the training date is reached
Final Product
Log Book
• Keeping a log is import to looking at the overall training process
• The logbook is stored in an access database
• Add new/ or edit log
using the edit button
Body Mass Index calculator
• BMI is a way of estimating body fat based on height and weight
• Useful in training
Cadence Calculator
• Cadence is the crank rotations per minute
• Most riders have a cadence from 60 to 100 rpm’s
• Very important for racing
Problems• Time
– 17 credit semester– Working 15 – 20 hrs a week
• VO2 Max
• First time using C# and Visual Studio.NET
• First time using databases with a program
What did I learn
• A lot of about working with databases
• C# and Visual Studio.NET
• More about different training methods
Conclusion
• Created a system that help a user to create a training schedule
• A simple way of keeping records of the users training activities
• Some useful tools
