Hi pytrainer developers, I am a new user of pytrainer and I like what I see this far. However, I stumbled across a rather weird calorie counting result, which I wanted to report back to you.
I use the version of pytrainer that comes with Debian (stable), 1.7.2 that is. I have set the MET of bicykling to 9.0 after considering https://sites.google.com/site/compendiumofphysicalactivities/Activity-Categories/bicycling However, the MET value is not per training session but per sport, which is problematic. Another problem is that the calorie counter function seems to use the total time, not excluding pauses recorded by Forerunner 305. When I compare the calorie counts of two training sessions, I got weird results: Case 1. bicykling, duration 1:42, 44 km, average pulse rate 144 => 594 Cal Case 2. bicykling, duration 2:32, 39 km, average pulse rate 130 => 1188 Cal Case 2 had a reported total time of 1:55 according to Forerunner 305. 1. Is the duration problem due to my use of garmin-forerunner-tools as import plugin? Should I use something else instead? 2. It seems as if the average pulse rate is not taken into account when the Calories are calculated, but why is that? I don't want to sound ungrateful, but rather I would like to enhance the program by reporting back. Thanks for pytrainer and kind regards, Hans Ekbrand
