TFThrowAnalysis

TFThrowAnalysis application is based on accurate & complete athlete model for evaluating event performance & fitness. It uses supplied athlete data to optimize Run Way Approach, Circle Approach, & throw distance.

Individual Models used as reference for fitness, training evaluation (example: Intensity Level), & competition progress. It is a Personal Training Aid, compatible with & follows guidelines from USA Track & Field Coaching Manual.

Human Body model, Digital Signal Processor algorithm, data error checks, Aerodynamic, Wind, & Machine Learning algorithms included.

Run Way Approach includes Javelin Throw events. Circle Approach includes Shot Put, Discus Throw, Hammer Throw, & Weight Throw events.

Application is used to analyze user supplied performance & training data. Training session is selected, results are recorded. Training is then adjusted based on analysis & reference provided. Process is then periodically repeated for best results.

Data can be supplied directly or externally downloaded. External file names start with EXSP, EXDT, EXJT, EXHT, or EXWT. Parameters & data supplied using csv (comma separated values) file.

Application uses supplied athlete data & specified Run Distance times for Approach Analysis calculations. Calculated values for specified Run Way Distance, Max Run Rate, Time Constant, Max Step Distance, & Min Step Distance include Run Time, Forward Start Force, Run Velocity, Run Acceleration, & Run Steps.

Approach Analysis calculations also use calculated values for specified Approach Time, Number of Turns, & Time Constant include Competitor Approach Distance, Implement Approach Rate, Approach Angle Velocity, Approach Angle Acceleration, & Time per Turn.

Specified Inputs for Throw Analysis include Vertical Acceleration, Approach Velocity, Throw Rate, Incidence Angle, Wind Velocity, & Implement Related Data.

Throw Analysis results include Throw Distance & Height Attained, Horizontal Force & Velocity, Vertical Force & Velocity, Flight Path Angle, Throw Release Velocity, Attitude Angle, & Throw Time. Specific values can be used to estimate strength levels required.

Training Plans are created using Create Plan Menu. Training Sessions associated with a specific training plan can then be created from generated data using Plan Session(s) Menu.

Independent Training Sessions are created using Create Sessions Menu. The following data is selected in sequence when Create Session is selected: Training Session, Athlete Name, Session Date, Training Season, Training Preparation(s), Training Phase(s), Training Event(s), & Event Types (Speed, Endurance, Distance, Strength, & Power).

Each Training Session is partially initialized with representative data. Training Session data can then be added or edited after the athlete completes each Training Session.

Individual Training Plans & Sessions can be created, updated, or deleted using Training menu selections.

Evaluation of Training results, using Training Session(s) recorded data, provides event performance analysis & athlete fitness level estimates to help an athlete achieve peak performance. Menu selection of Speed, Endurance, Strength, or Power provides detail & summary evaluation results.

Sample training elements are used to create training session(s). Elements provided include those for Sprint, Throw, Strength, & Power.

Results are saved by entering a non-default (not Defaultxxx) Athlete Name.

Email, or print (with compatible device) is provided.
