)A data frame containing a distance column and their respective time-to-exhaustion.
The name of the distance column. This value has to be in meters.
The name of the time-to-exhaustion column. This value has to be in seconds. Default to "TTE".
The method for estimating critical speed. It can be one or multiple methods. Default to c("3-hyp", "2-hyp", "linear", "1/time").
A boolean indicating whether to produce a plot from the critical speed estimation. Default to TRUE.
A boolean to indicate whether to plot the Speed (m/s) in the y-axis. It is ignored for the linear methods. Default to FALSE.
A boolean indicating whether to perform the critical speed estimation from all the possible combinations of time-to-exhaustion trials provided. Please, see 'Details' for more information. Default to FALSE.
a tibble containing the following columns:
In case all_combinations = TRUE this column indicates the row number of the trials chosen for the critical speed estimation. They correspond to the row numbers in your data.
The critical speed method for that estimation.
The data you provided.
A nls or lm object. The model used in the critical speed fitting.
Critical speed, in meters per second.
Standard error of the estimation of critical speed, in meters per second.
Anaerobic distance capacity, in joules.
Standard error of the estimation of anaerobic work capacity, in joules.
Maximal instantaneous speed, in meters per second (only available in CP 3-hyp).
Standard error of the estimation of maximal instantaneous seed, in meters per second (only available in CP 3-hyp).
R-squared.
Root mean square error, the units vary depending on the method, as they represent the units of the response (i.e., y-axis): CP3-hyp in seconds, CP2-hyp in seconds, CPlinear in joules, and CP1/time in watts.
The critical power plot.
Please, note that estimations of critical power are highly influenced by the range of time-to-exhaustion trials performed, and the chosen critical power model. Please, see Mattioni Maturana et al. (2018).
A note on the R2 value: Please, note that for the hyperbolic fits (CP 3-hyp and CP 2-hyp) this value is actually a pseudo r-squared, as they are not linear models.
The 3-parameter hyperbolic model is calculated as the following (Morton, 1996):
\[t=\frac{W'}{speed-CS}+\frac{D'}{CS-S_{max}}\]
The 2-parameter hyperbolic model is calculated as the following (Hill, 1993):
\[t=\frac{D'}{speed-CS}\]
The linear model is calculated as the following (Moritani et al. 1981):
\[D_{lim}=D'+CP\cdot t\]
The 1/time linear model is calculated as the following (Whipp et al. 1982):
\[speed=D'\cdot \frac{1}{t}+CS\]
When the argument all_combinations = TRUE, the function takes the given data and finds all the
possible combinations of the trials given. For example, if 5 trials are provided (i.e., your data contains 5 rows),
critical speed will be fitted with all the 5 trials, then all the possible combinations using only 4 trials, and so on.
This feature was inspired on our paper Mattioni Maturana et al. (2018).
When all the combinations are fitted, an extra column called "index" appears in the final results.
This is the index of the trial number used to fit the model.
This corresponds to the row number of your data (e.g., in [1,3,5] trials #1, #3, and #5 are used).
