System Theoretical Analysis of Performance in Sports

STAPS is an innovative method to analyze human performance and optimize endurance training. STAPS originated as a research project in 2002 and was brought to practical application by the demands of professional athletes. The inherent new methods and tools aid in the analysis of endurance performance at least 5 times more accurately than with conventional incremental testing. Furthermore STAPS provides new and important parameters to Team High Road such as recovery during races, energy metabolism and pacing strategy in time trials, and anaerobic capacity.
