A Hydraulic Model Outperforms Work-Balance Models for Predicting Recovery Kinetics From Intermittent Exercise
Data Science advances in sports commonly involve “big data”, i.e., large sport-related data sets. However, such big data sets are not always available, necessitating specialized models that apply to relatively few observations. One important area of sport-science research that features small data sets is the study of recovery from exercise. In this area, models are…

A Generalised Hydraulic Performance Model for Intermittent Exercise
This is my PhD thesis. It wraps all related publications into one narrative. Summary: Data science advances in sports commonly involve ‘big data’, i.e., large sport-related data sets. However, such big data sets are not always available, necessitating specialized models that apply to relatively few observations. One important area of sport science research that features…

A New Pathway to Approximate Energy Expenditure and Recovery of an Athlete
This work proposes to use evolutionary computation as a pathway to allow a new perspective on the modeling of energy expenditure and recovery of an individual athlete during exercise. We revisit a theoretical concept called the “three component hydraulic model” which is designed to simulate metabolic systems during exercise and which is able to address…
