Weekly Analysis 1

Weekly analysis 1.

I’m sorry, I didn’t get a chance to finish this page. Doing all this is time consuming. - 09/17/2024 ~Seth

I will be analyzing my habits, health and sharing various metrics.

To start off, let’s analyze my daily strain. This will help us identify potential anomalies and give us a better understanding of other metrics.

On the graph, we can see the day strain vs recovery.

What is interesting, Wednesday and Saturday, which have ~50%, with Wednesday being a few percentages lower on the recovery scale - have..

Let’s analyze the strain first.

Strain

Strain measures the cardiovascular and muscular load on the body throughout the day

Strain Values

Light (0-9) - Minimal stress put on the body, room for active recovery

Moderate (10-13) - Moderate stres on the body, generally good for maintaining fitness

High (14-17) - Increased stress and activity level, ideal for making fitness gains when training

All out (18-21) - Significant stress, often overreaching, likely very difficult to recover from the next day

Calculating Strain

Strain is calculated on a logarithmic scale, measured from:

  • Heart Rate
  • Duration & Intensity

First, let’s import the data into a table, creating rows 1-7 referencing the days of the week, staring with sunday.

Strain (max 21)
 
4.3
4.2
9.9
7.2
5.8
12.6
6.7

Creating an initial histogram of n=7

This doesn’t really give us the full picture, and is quite difficult to understand. We are just clustering here.

Instead, we can see the range within a boxplot:

We can see some valuable information such as:

Min: 4.2 Q1: 4.3 Median: 6.7 Q3: 9.9 Max 12.6

This lets us get a visual of the range. Theoretically the maximum amount of strain is 21.

Again, we can visualize this data:

Now, we can add some other values into the mix. Recovery is on a scale of 100%.

Following the recovery scores, on the same rows of 1-7,

Recovery Max (100%)

87
