Smart searching in data Research in the spotlight
Smart searching in data Research in the spotlight - Just like the professional riders from the Jumbo-Visma team, amateur cyclists will soon be able to analyse and improve their performance. Leiden data scientists working with the cycling team are making their smart data model available so that every serious cyclist can keep track of their fitness. To win major race competitions like the Tour de France, optimal training is vitally important. Team Jumbo-Visma is permanently engaged in innovating and conducting studies to improve the performance of the riders. And their efforts have paid off because in the 2022 Tour de France the team ended with the yellow (general classification), green (sprint classification) and polka dot ( mountains classification) jerseys. One of the innovations relates to fitness. 'The standard way of gauging fitness is with an endurance test in a lab,' says Arno Knobbe from the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), whose research group is working with the cycling team.
