Data Analysis for Human Powered Health Women’s Team
Isaiah Newkirk
Earlier this year, Frank (BigCat) and Coach Isaiah started working for the Women’s World Tour Team, Human Powered Health as their data scientists. We analyze the entire teams’ power, heart rate, sleep and HRV data - everything in their training and racing - to help the team perform their best!
Listen to our podcast with Coach Isaiah talking about how we support Human Powered Health as their data scientists to get a glimpse of how World Tour teams elevate data review to the next level to inform everything from rosters to rider management. 👇
In this episode, we talk about our work with the women’s team, what we look at in the data and how we report that back to the team. Specifically, we share:
- The types of data we analyze
- The survey we have the riders fill out to put the data into context
- The reports we provide to the team
- How the team uses those reports
So, how does data analysis for a world team work? How exactly is FasCat helping to inform key decisions for Human Powered Health's management team?
