Real world data, such as that collected routinely in hospitals and point-of-care institutions, but also those now available from wearable devices, is projected to change healthcare dramatically. The data collected by wearable exercise trackers hold the potential to enhance our understanding of the interplay between training and performance. Our results are reported in a paper in Nature…Continue readingSmartwatch data from 14.000 marathon runners: our study just appeared in Nature Comm.

It is easy to measure the number of heart beats per minute. Clearly, this number increases with exercise intensity. But how regular is your heart beat during exercise? And what does this imply potentially? In a recent work with my colleagues Esa Räsänen, Matti Molkkari and Giorgio Angelotti, we have studied the fluctuations of the…Continue readingHow regular is your heart beat during exercise?
Models to predict performances in running can be useful for both racing and training. It has been almost hundred years since the first systematic study of the connection between physiological principles and world record running performances was performed by Nobel prize winner Archibald Hill (1925). He proposed a mathematical model, based on metabolic energy considerations,…Continue readingBritish Milers’ Club News: An introduction to our model for endurance performance
