athlete performance metrics

Athlete performance metrics are data points used to assess and understand how well an athlete is performing. These include measures like speed, endurance, strength, and recovery time. More advanced metrics, such as heart rate variability and VO2 max, provide insights into cardiovascular fitness and stamina. Tracking these helps coaches and athletes identify strengths, monitor progress, and tailor training to improve overall performance while reducing injury risk. Think of these metrics as a health report for athletes, giving clear, objective information beyond how they feel, enabling smarter training decisions and optimal athletic development.
