sksports.metrics.intensity_factor_score(activity_power, mpa)

Intensity factor®.

The intensity factor® is the ratio of the normalized power® over the functional threshold power. Note that all our computation consider the maximum power aerobic for consistency. If you only have the functional threshold power, use metrics.ftp2mpa.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

activity_power : Series

A Series containing the power data from an activity.

mpa : float

Maximum power aerobic. Use metrics.ftp2mpa if you use the functional threshold power metric.

Returns:

score: float

Intensity factor.

Examples

>>> from sksports.datasets import load_fit
>>> from sksports.io import bikeread
>>> from sksports.metrics import intensity_factor_score
>>> ride = bikeread(load_fit()[0])
>>> mpa = 400
>>> if_score = intensity_factor_score(ride['power'], mpa)
>>> print('Intensity factor {:.2f} W'.format(if_score))
Intensity factor 0.72 W
