It virtually runs itself!

Working closely with the Carnegie Research Institute, Kooji has completed work on a prototype interface and program designed to simulate an athlete’s performance based on the user's input. Control over running speed and water intake is complemented by body glycogen and lactate readouts, all of which has an effect on the athlete's performance.

The Virtual Athlete program will allow students and researchers to run tests on varying runner tactics.
