Method Details

simulateExertion

public static AthletePhysiology.PhysiologicalState simulateExertion(AthletePhysiology.PhysiologicalState state,
 double intensityPercent,
 double durationMinutes,
 double ambientTempCelsius)

Simulates the physiological impact of a period of physical exertion.

Parameters:

state - Current state of the athlete

intensityPercent - Intensity of the activity (0-100%)

durationMinutes - Duration of the activity in minutes

ambientTempCelsius - Environmental temperature in Celsius

Returns:

A new PhysiologicalState reflecting the post-exertion condition

simulateRecovery

public static AthletePhysiology.PhysiologicalState simulateRecovery(AthletePhysiology.PhysiologicalState state,
 double restMinutes,
 boolean hydrating,
 boolean eating)

Simulates physiological recovery during a rest period.

Parameters:

state - Current state (presumably fatigued)

restMinutes - Duration of rest

hydrating - True if the athlete is consuming fluids

eating - True if the athlete is consuming carbohydrates

Returns:

A new PhysiologicalState reflecting recovery

estimateVO2Max

public static Real estimateVO2Max(double restingHR,
 double maxHR)

Estimates VO2max (maximum oxygen uptake) using the Uth-Sørensen-Overgaard-Pedersen formula. Formula: VO2max = 15.3 * (HRmax / HRrest)

Parameters:

restingHR - Resting Heart Rate (bpm)

maxHR - Maximum Heart Rate (bpm)

Returns:

Estimated VO2max in mL/(kg·min)

performanceMultiplier

public static Real performanceMultiplier(AthletePhysiology.PhysiologicalState state)

Calculates a performance multiplier based on physiological state. Used to scale athletic performance in simulations (e.g., speed or accuracy reduction).

Parameters:

state - The athlete's current state

Returns:

Multiplier (0.5 to 1.0), where 1.0 is peak performance
