Optimal profile functions

Description

Family of functions that serve a purpose of finding optimal sprint or force-velocity profile

optimal_FV finds "optimal" F0 and V0 where time at distance is minimized, while keeping the power the same

optimal_MSS_MAC finds "optimal" MSS and MAS where time at distance is minimized, while keeping the Pmax the same

Usage

optimal_FV(
  distance,
  F0,
  V0,
  bodymass = 75,
  inertia = 0,
  resistance = 0,
  method = "max",
  ...
)

optimal_MSS_MAC(distance, MSS, MAC)

Arguments

distance	Numeric vector
F0, V0	Numeric vectors. FV profile parameters
bodymass	Body mass in kg
inertia	External inertia in kg (for example a weight vest, or a sled). Not included in the air resistance calculation
resistance	External horizontal resistance in Newtons (for example tether device or a sled friction resistance)
method	Method to be utilized. Options are "peak" and "max" (default)
...	Arguments passed on to get_air_resistance velocity Instantaneous running velocity in meters per second (m/s) bodyheight In meters (m). Default is 1.75m barometric_pressure In Torrs. Default is 760Torrs air_temperature In Celzius (C). Default is 25C wind_velocity In meters per second (m/s). Use negative number as head wind, and positive number as back wind. Default is 0m/s (no wind)
MSS, MAC	Numeric vectors. Model parameters
