SRM Analysis view - how does shifting work, exactly?!

Triathlon Forum

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the SRM software, in particular the Analysis Mode. I see that the difference between the Conconi view and the “SRM view” is the default smooting window (which I can manually adjust), and the shifting parameter (which is 0 in the Conconi view, and >0 in the SRM view).
What is the exact significance of the shifting parameter, and how is it determined? I understand that it compensates for a lag in heart rate adjustment to wattage change, but how exactly does that work? And does the software determine an optimal shiting parameter by itself? And how?

It seems to me the Conconi view is more suited for laboratory settings, and the SRM view for “real life data” trying to get the best of it … hence the different smoothing and shifting … but details on how tha shifting parameter is determined (I can’t seem to manually tweak it) and how exactly the curves are computed w shifting are elusive … I can’t find any details online.

Cheers!

is no one using this, or do people use it and don’t care how it works :wink:

I am wondering as neither Golde Cheetah nor WKO seem to have this analysis …

Wow. I know that this is greatly outside my area of inexpertise, but you’d be much better off going to SRM and/or Trainingpeaks directly rather than asking us “know-it-alls”. I’m sure someone would be more than happy to talk about all of the features.

I know it’s a long shot – but I don’t want to underestimate the users of this forum :wink:

Not sure if SRM will be happy to discuss this tbh but let’s see … trainingpeaks might be a good call though. cheers!
