Abstract

Heart rate forecasting in cycling is most effective when it is personalized and course-specific to account for the influence of individual and terrain factors. This paper empirically assesses various personalized and course-specific heart rate forecasting models based on four machine learning models, including random forest, feed forward neural networks (FFNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long short term memory (LSTM). The mean square error (MSE) is selected as the metric for model comparison. The results of our experiments show that despite the severely overfitted random forest models the LSTM models have the lowest MSE in the heart rate forecasting on our test dataset.
