ATHENA TRL-4 Demonstrator: Explainable Athlete Monitoring Dashboards

We built ATHENA TRL-4, a demo application that showcases how athlete monitoring data can be integrated, aggregated, and explained for a male handball team.

This is a TRL-4 demonstrator: all data used is synthetic in nature (deterministic, logically coherent), created specifically for showcasing functionality, explainability, and scenario-driven demos - not for real-world deployment yet.

What the demo showcases

ATHENA demonstrates baseline-driven deviation analysis and transparent attribution across multiple data domains.

Indicator groups (as implemented in the demo)

1) Cardiovascular & Internal Load

  • Session duration, Avg/Max HR, HR zones (Z1–Z5)
  • TRIMP, Session RPE, Calories (estimated)
  • HR reserve usage, HR recovery 1’, cardiac drift, intensity density (Z4+Z5 share)

2) Recovery, Readiness & Autonomic Balance

  • HRV (RMSSD), Resting HR
  • Sleep duration, efficiency, debt, fragmentation
  • HRV trend slope, autonomic balance flag
  • Readiness Score (0–100) (explainable composite from HRV drop, RHR increase, sleep debt)

3) Mechanical Load & Locomotion (IMU)

  • PlayerLoad, jumps, impacts
  • accel/decel counts, peak acceleration
  • mechanical density, asymmetry index

4) Handball-Specific Throwing Load

  • throw count, throw density
  • max arm angular velocity, intensity zones
  • high-velocity throws, throw fatigue index
  • Throw Load Index (weighted composite)

5) Metabolic & Physiological Stress (optional in demo)

  • SpO₂, respiratory rate
  • skin temperature deviation, ventilatory stress, thermal strain

6) Subjective & Psychometric (optional toggle in demo)

  • DOMS, perceived recovery, mental stress, subjective sleep quality

7) Data Quality & Trust

  • signal quality score, missingness ratio
  • plausibility flag, device/source label

Composite indices (explainable, not predictive)

  • Fatigue Index (0–100)

    combines HRV drop %, RHR increase, TRIMP deviation %, mechanical deviation %

  • Overall Risk Score (0–100)

    weighted view of recovery deficit + load spike + mechanical/throw spike

    (all components expose contributing indicators; no diagnosis/prediction)


Included dashboards (demo pages)

  • Training Load & Deviation Dashboard (baseline → Δ% deviations → explainable drivers)
  • In-Match Sensor Dashboard (seeded live simulation with alerts + “Why” explanations)
  • Recovery & Regeneration Dashboard (overnight recovery using device-derived metrics)
  • Individual Athlete Digital Twin (timeline + rule-based cause→effect annotations)

A key TRL-4 visual is the D3 Sunburst attribution:

“Where does overload come from?”

Total overload → Episode → Athlete → Driver (Cardio / Mechanical / Throw / Recovery deficit)
