METHOD OF PREDICTING THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL DEMAND REQUIRED OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO FACE A PATH, ESPECIALLY A BICYCLE TOURING ROUTE

摘要

A method determines the level of physical demand required of an individual to face a given path, especially a bicycle-touring route. The method includes the steps of determining a physical profile of the individual, i.e. his/her ability to sustain a given effort during physical activity, determining the degree of difficulty of the path and comparing the physical profile with the degree of difficulty to determine the level of physical demand required of the individual. The method can be advantageously carried out by a program installed on a server with a Web interface, or by an application for a smart phone, a tablet or a PC.
