This course covers the latest in the science of athletic training and performance. In the first class, we will discuss basic exercise physiology, principles of training and periodization, and motivate the need for an engineering approach to athletic training. The second class will feature methods for quantifying training data and using this data in computer models to predict performance. Case studies from world champion professional athletes will be presented. While this course is geared towards endurance sport performance, the principles apply to many other sports.
