Abstract: A system and method for racing data analysis using telemetry data and wearable sensor data may be used, in one implementation, to analyze muscle use in extreme racing conditions to find actionable insights for the race car driver. An example of the actionable insights may be how to minimize the driver's muscle fatigue during a race. The system and method may perform data validation of the data from the wearable sensor(s) and then generate the actionable insights from the validated data.

Abstract: A method for estimating power usage of a body in motion may include accessing location data associated with the body in motion, determining a trajectory of the body in motion based on the location data, encoding the trajectory, and estimating the power usage based on the encoded trajectory. The power usage may further be estimated based on one or more programmed features, which may include one or more of friction, wind resistance, potential energy, or kinetic energy. The method may further include estimating a second power usage of one or more second bodies in motion and estimating a competitive outcome based on the power usage and the second power usage.
