Autocorrection of Effort Detection

This article explain the autocorrection of detected efforts in a PPD test

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Auto-Correction function in the PPD improves the accuracy of effort detection by automatically refining user-marked efforts.

In certain cases, especially with short-duration efforts like sprints, marking the start or end point slightly early or late can noticeably affect the calculated results. Auto-Correction helps address this issue.

How Auto-Correction Works

  1. Mark Your Effort as Usual
    Use the PPD’s effort marking tools to highlight the desired section.

  2. PPD Auto-Scans for Optimization
    Once an effort is marked, the PPD reviews the data a few seconds before and after your selection to find an optimal snippet.

  3. Compare Results
    When you click the Mean Max Power button:

    • You’ll see both your original selection and

    • The optimized version suggested by the PPD.

  4. Choose the Best Option
    Select either your initial marking or the PPD’s optimized segment.

Tip: Even with Auto-Correction, it’s still best to mark efforts as precisely as possible to ensure the closest match to real performance data.
