In Athlytics: Advanced Sports Performance Analysis for 'Strava' Data

Athlytics 0.1.2

• CRAN Resubmission: Carefully addressed feedback from CRAN by making detailed updates and modifications for package resubmission. This primarily involved refining examples (e.g., consistently using \dontrun{} as advised) and ensuring metadata files meet all CRAN standards.

• Testing: Focused on increasing test coverage towards the goal of 85% across the package. Integrated Codecov for ongoing coverage monitoring.
• Bug Fixes

Athlytics 0.1.1

Core Improvement: Enhanced Reliability & Testing with Simulated Data

This significant update enhances package reliability and ease of use by integrating Athlytics_sample_data. This enables all examples to run offline and ensures core functionalities have undergone more rigorous, reproducible testing.

Key Changes:

• Examples & Vignettes: All Roxygen examples and key vignette examples now primarily use Athlytics_sample_data for offline execution and clarity. Network-dependent examples are clearly separated in \donttest{} blocks.
• Test Suite: Fundamentally refactored the test suite to extensively use Athlytics_sample_data and mockery, improving test robustness and parameter coverage.
• Strengthened Package Quality & Compliance: Undertook thorough package validation, leading to key enhancements for overall robustness and adherence to R packaging standards. This involved: ensuring all function examples are correct and reliably executable (notably addressing strava_oauth(...) scenarios for offline/testing contexts); providing accurate and refined documentation for data objects in R/data.R; fixing Roxygen import directives for precise namespace definition; improving help file readability through Rd line width adjustments; and optimizing package data loading by adding LazyData: true to DESCRIPTION.
• Documentation: Minor improvements to documentation clarity and consistency (e.g., date formatting in plots, explicit naming of data frame arguments in examples).

Athlytics 0.1.0

Major Changes

• Decoupling Calculation: Switched from rStrava::get_activity_streams to direct Strava API calls using httr and jsonlite for fetching activity streams in calculate_decoupling. This aims to resolve previous errors but might impact performance and rate limiting.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed calculate_acwr error (condition has length > 1) by forcing evaluation before the dplyr pipe.
• Corrected plot_pbs usage in examples and test scripts to include the required distance_meters argument.
• Added missing dependencies (httr, jsonlite) to DESCRIPTION file.
• Improved error handling and messages in several functions.
• Simplified Roxygen documentation for core functions.
• Updated README examples and descriptions for clarity and consistency with code.

Initial Release

• Initial release.
• Added core functions for calculating and plotting:
  • Load Exposure (Acute vs. Chronic Load)
  • ACWR Trend
  • Efficiency Factor Trend
  • Personal Bests (PBs)
  • Decoupling Trend
• Added Strava authentication helper based on rStrava.
