- INTRODUCTION
-
-
-
- BACKGROUND
-
- Personalized Training Diary (PTD) was developed to help track those
- elusive factors that affect performance. As someone involved in
- endurance activities such as running, cross-country skiing, or biking,
- you appreciate how equipment, weather, or route conditions can change
- your outcome. Cross-country skiers, as an example, must take into
- account such factors as temperature, humidity, course profile, and type
- of wax.
- Until now, it was difficult to record and evaluate those factors.
- PTD helps you review training performance of any endurance activity,
- based upon self-determined categories and attributes. You can define a
- category such as weather and then identify attributes such as rainy,
- humid, hot, cold, etc. By tracking these attributes, you will find it
- easier to study the impact of various conditions. You can study the
- effects of humidity, temperature, or brand of running shoe, bicycle, or
- ski you use. PTD helps you explore athletic performance in new ways.
- By design the program will enable you to think and perform smarter.
- It helps you determine what conditions enhance or hinder performance. An
- example might be the runner who periodically develops sore feet. The
- program may help the runner find that this occurs when wearing certain
- shoes, when running up hills, or only on humid days.
- You determine the degree of detail and control the activities
- described, the categories and attributes defined, and the reports
- developed. PTD changes perspective to find new understanding of
- performance. The program is a tool to test assumptions.

-
- PTD can also be used as educational software. The program adapts
- well for use in a school setting, enabling integration with learning
- experiences. PTD can integrate what a student does in physical
- education class with computer sciences as well as with other sciences and
- math classes, allowing the student to begin to analyze his or her
- physical performance. PTD can bridge the gap between courses of study
- the student may feel are unrelated. Thus, it supports the core of the
- sciences: to observe and predict.
- A word of caution. When undertaking any training and physical-
- fitness program, one should consult with a physician or other qualified
- health-care professional. Such consultation is advisable when drawing
- any conclusions based upon information you have entered or used from this
- program.

- SETUP AND MAINTENANCE
-
-
-
- The setup and maintenance menu allows you to customize PTD to your
- needs. This is where you define your activities, categories, and
- attributes. Here you may print out blank log pages to record your
- workouts, adjust screen colors, select a graphics printer and do file
- maintenance.
- Personalized Training Diary is supplied with predefined activities,
- categories, and attributes. They will be available if you chose to
- install them.
-
- ACTIVITIES
-
- By selecting the activities option, you may add or delete training
- activities. You may list up to 15 separate training activities. These
- activities will pop up on the training records input screen when you are
- inserting or modifying your training records.
- There are several ways to approach defining activities. If you are
- primarily a runner, you may wish to classify the types of running
- activities you do. You may have runs geared toward endurance, speed, or
- distance. Your training regimen may involve sprints, interval training,
- or fartleks. PTD will allow you to define or categorize running
- activities any way you choose.
- If you participate in multiple activities, you can specify each. You
- may bike, walk, swim, or cross-country ski. You may participate in two
- or more activities that have the same subcomponents. An example would be
- the person who runs and XC skis. In this case, possible activities may
- be: "Run endure," "Run sprint," "Xc endure," and "Xc sprint". The only
- limitation is that the keyed-in activity description cannot be longer
- than 10 characters.
- When deleting a specific activity, you no longer can insert records
- containing the activity. However, the program maintains all previous
- records with this activity, and they are available in report mode.
-
- CATEGORIES
-
- By selecting the category option, you can maintain up to 10 different
- self-defined categories. Categories organize attributes; they are a
- means of grouping the various attributes that you wish to track.
- Examples of categories are weather, route, shoes, temperature, and so on.
-
- ATTRIBUTES
-
- By selecting the attributes option, you can maintain up to 20 different
- attributes under each of the categories that you defined. The program
- presents these attributes to you when you enter, modify, or display
- training records.
- Under the category of weather, examples of attributes are hot, cold,
- humid, cloudy; under temperature, examples are ranges such as: 51F - 55F
-
-
-
-

-
-
- Page 13
-
- and 56F - 60F ; and under route, examples of attributes include pond
- loop, country run, hillside.
- Attributes are sorted alphabetically. If you wish to put things in
- another order you can prefix items with 01, 02, 03, etc. This causes the
- attribute to be sorted by that prefix.

-
- USING CATEGORIES AND ATTRIBUTES
-
- As with activities, you can approach categories and attributes in various
- ways. Just about anything you can imagine can be an attribute and
- tracked. The amount of detail is up to you. If you installed the
- default categories and attributes you will have a good starting point.
- Modify these to your interests and needs.
-
- DELETING CATEGORIES AND ATTRIBUTES
-
- When deleting categories or attributes, PTD will search all training
- records and reports for references to that category. The program will
- ask whether or not to continue with the deletion process. If you select
- "Yes" from the menu, the program will delete that reference from all
- records and reports that contain it. The remainder of the record or
- report will be unchanged. If you select "No", the program will not
- delete any categories or attributes. In either case, you will return to
- the setup menu.
-
- PRINT BLANK LOGS
-
- This option allows you to print out blank log forms. The blank log form
- will print at the port you select. For most people this will be Lpt1.
- You may use these as data entry forms to record training sessions. The
- blanks will include all your self-defined categories and attributes; you
- only need to circle those that apply to the particular session.

-
- DELETE LOG RECORDS
-
- By selecting this option, you can delete all training records and diary
- entries while maintaining defined activities, categories, attributes, and
- reports. This allows you to purge records but keep all other information
- intact.
-
- SCREEN COLORS
-
- This option allows you to change screen colors on any EGA\VGA color or
- VGA monochrome monitor running in color mode. The program stores these
- settings in the file color.set. If this file is missing, PTD will run
- in monochrome mode. The first time you adjust the screen colors, the
- program will create the file color.set. Note: Certain color
- combinations may produce undesirable effects such as invisible text. Use
- CAUTION when adjusting colors. CAUTION
-
- REPAIR DATABASES
-
- Use this option only for the error "1317 Database(s) are invalid" and
- only when no backup copies of the database exist. One reason the
- databases could be marked as invalid is because a power failure occurred
- before the program finished updating the records. This procedure
- attempts to recover all undamaged data. However, some data may not be
- recovered. Regular backup of *.bin files is your best protection.
-
- PACK DATABASES
-
- This option will remove any free space in the data base files. The only
- way free space might occur is by deleting records, reports, or any of
- your personalized categories, attributes, or activities. If your
- database file seems larger than they should be, use this option to
- reclaim any free space. Packing databases should only be done after you
- make backup copies. Packing may take some time and a power failure
- during this process will damage the files.
-
- GRAPHICS PRINTER SETUP
-
- This option allows you to choose a printer, resolution, and printer port.
- This information is used when you print a Heart Check+ graph.
- There are two main groups of printers: raster and vector graphics.
- Printers using the raster format must build the entire image in a
- temporary file before it is printed. This can take some time. The more
- memory your computer has available, the less memory pages are necessary
- and the quicker the printing. Remove all unnecessary memory resident
- programs. If you are using MS DOS 5.0 loading it high releases
- conventional memory. You can stop the process at any point with Esc. It
- will take program several seconds to respond as it closes down the
- graphics system. Vector graphics on the other hand are quite fast, since
- the printer is receiving commands to draw and not the image itself.
- The following is a list of supported printers. Compatible printers
- are usually not. They may only support some and not all modes. You will
-
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Page 16
-
- have to experiment. Finally, when using higher resolutions your printer
- may need extra memory or you will get some sort of printer memory overrun
- message.

- USING THE REPORTS SYSTEM
-
-
-
- REPORT NAME/DESCRIPTION/TITLE
-
- It is simple to use the report system. You begin by selecting reports
- from the main menu. To define a report, select F2. Type in a name and
- press Enter. You may enter a title and description or Tab to skip those
- fields.
-
- DISPLAY FIELDS
-
- You are now in the reports definition menu. Press Enter to select the
- display fields option. Using the Up/Down Arrow keys to move and F6 to
- select, choose the fields to display. The order in which you choose will
- be the order left to right in which the fields are displayed. If you
- change your mind, use the select reset to clear your previous choices.
- Once selected, press F10 to accept choices.
-
- SORT BY
-
- You are now in the sort by option. Select by pressing Enter. This is
- similar to the display fields option, and you use it the same way: F6 to
- select, F10 to accept. Both display fields and sort by are required
- options.

-
- GROUP BY
-
- The next option is group by. This is optional and allows you to group
- records together by one of fields in the record. Common choices are
- activity or time of day.
- This option works in conjunction with sort by. If you want each
- activity grouped together, you must choose activity as your first sort
- field.
- In addition, you can group records by week, month, or year. Each
- of these options will ask you to give a starting point. Week will ask
- you for the day of the week (ie. Sunday, Monday, etc.). Month will
- ask you for the day of the month (ie. 14, 22, 27, etc.). And, year
- will ask for month and day (ie. 02/14, 07/08, etc.).
-
- ANALYZE ACTIVITIES
-
- The analyze activity option performs comparisons, averages, and
- summaries. It reports the number of sessions and the dates involved for
- each activity. It also reports the minimum, maximum, and average of
- distance, elapsed time, miles/minute, minutes/mile, pulse rates, and
- weight, along with the totals of distance and elapsed time. Analysis is
- performed on only those records meeting the search and attribute
- criteria. This allows you to compare your performance based upon
- different criteria.
-
- SEARCH CRITERIA
-
- Search criteria is the most sophisticated option. It operates in two
- modes: a prompt system for the novice, and direct edit for the
- experienced user. You may select multiple criteria linked by and's and
- or's, and grouped by parentheses.
- The first choice is whether or not to open a set of parentheses.
- Parentheses allow you to group criteria and set conditions which must be
- met as a single criteria. Next, you will be prompted to select a field,
- comparison method, and criteria. If you opened parentheses, you will be
- asked whether or not to close the parentheses. You can now select a
- logical link to the next field, comparison method, and criteria, or you
- can end the process. As an example:
-
- Activity = Running and Date > 1/1/1991 or
- Date < 1/1/1992
-
- This will give you records where the
- activity is running that occurred after
- 1/1/1991 and all records regardless of
- activity before 1/1/1992.
-
- Activity = Running and (Date >1/1/1991 or
- Date < 1/1/1992)
-
- This will give you records where the
- activity is running and is between the
- dates 1/1/1991 and 1/1/1992.
-
- When you press Esc to end the search criteria selection the program
-
- Lake fFfips Software Personalized Training Diary
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Page 32
-
- prompts gives the option of direct edit. You can edit, press Esc to
- discard, or press F10 to accept the search criteria. As always, the
- program asks, "Are You Sure? (Y/N)." If there are any errors in the
- search criteria, the program will display a message and the cursor will
- appear by the error.
- Note: If you have deleted an activity, it will not appear on the
- prompt menu, even if records still contain the activity. Simply press
- Esc and a blank criteria field will appear. Type in the activity and
- press Enter.

- ATTRIBUTE SEARCH
-
- There are three options for searching attributes:
-
- do not search: Ignore attributes when searching for records
-
- find common: Identify all attributes that records have in common
-
- find selected: Select records that contain the selected
- attributes
-
- The find selected option allows you to search for records that
- contain one or more of the attributes that you select. When you select
- this option, the attribute menu system appears and functions the same as
- when you enter training records. You (un)select attributes with F6 and
- accept with F10.
- Once you have finished selecting attributes, the program will give
- you the choice between "aLl matching" or "aNy matching." aLl matching
- means that the records must contain all the attributes identified. aNy
- matching means that only one of the identified attributes needs to be
- present.
-
- PRINTER SETUP
-
- The printer setup option sends basic information to the printer. You can
- accept or change lines per page, page width in columns, printer port,
- number of formfeeds after, whether to pause between pages, or before and
- after printer setup strings. When your report goes to the printer, the
- lines per page and page width determine how much information will fit on
- a page. If the report is wider than the page width, the printer will
- send the extra columns to the next page. This allows you to print wide
- reports on narrow-carriage printers without compressing print.
- Note: The default for laser printers is usually 60 lines per page.
- This may cause a blank page to eject between printed pages and cause
- misalignment of the report. To avoid this, change the page-length option
- to 59 lines per page, or 1 less than what the printer is set at.
-
- ENDING REPORT DEFINITION
-
- Once you have finished defining a report, press F10 to accept it or Esc
- to cancel it. The program will ask, "Are You Sure? (Y/N)". Press "Y"
- to confirm your decision or "N" if you wish to reconsider your choice.
- Once you save a report, you can run it by pressing F4 and selecting
- screen or printer from the output menu.

- EXPLORING THE TRAINING RECORDS
-
-
-
- There are two basic ways to explore training records. First, you can
- scan through individual records with selected criteria using the search
- function in the training record area. The second option is to develop
- reports.
-
- SCANNING
-
- The simplest inquiries can be handled through the training log option of
- the main menu. By using the Up/Down Arrow keys or Page-up and Page-down,
- you can scan the records in chronological order. To narrow down the
- scope of the search, you can select F4. This allows you to select
- records based on any criterion such as type of activity, date, time of
- day, or any attribute or diary text. For example, select the activity of
- "Running" and time of day of "Afternoon" to see only those matching
- records. Also, as explained before, you can search records for matching
- attributes and diary text. By using Cntrl F4 you can broaden or narrow
- the criterion of your search.
-
- REPORTS
-
- The reports system offers a more sophisticated approach to analyzing
- training records. Here are some hints for getting the most out of your
- reports.
- A good approach is to start with reports that are broad in scope.
- Later, you may define additional reports that narrow down factors. For
- example, if you are interested in your biking performance, you might
- begin by developing a report that displays all biking records and looks
- for common attributes. You may find that there are no common attributes
- on the first pass.
-
- You may then narrow the scope of records by choosing only a certain
- period of dates, a time of day, or a distance. You may find common
- attributes appearing, such as you are emotionally "Stressed" on distances
- less than 4 miles, or you physically have a "Sore back" on distances over
- 10 miles. In fact, if the latter were the outcome, you might explore
- adding new attributes to the physical category, like handlebar type and
- height or change of seat or seating position.
- Another approach is to look for specific attributes. As a runner,
- you may find very different performances over the same course to be
- correlated to such factors as temperature, humidity, or type of running
- shoe. By running two or more reports and varying one attribute in each,
- you may begin seeing where the differences are in your overall
- performances.
- Remember, "correlation" does not mean "cause and effect". Some other
- factor may be the cause of two other unrelated factors occurring
- together. PTD is a tool to help you gain more perspectives on your
- training. Train better by training smarter and discover those factors
- that improve your performance.
