Conversion

For handling unit conversions, a conversion namespace is included in FitnessJS. The conversion module is broken into 3 parts:

  • UnitConverter
  • SwainConverter
  • TemperatureConverter

The UnitConverter can convert between Metric and Imperial units for:

  • acceleration
  • area
  • distance
  • energy
  • force
  • mass
  • METs
  • pace
  • pressure
  • speed
  • time
  • volume
  • weight

The SwainConverter is used to convert %HRmax to %VO2Max, and vice versa. The SwainConverter formulas are used heavily in the running namespace for estimating paces based on heart rate.

The TemperatureConverter is used to convert temperature between Celsius (C), Farenheit(F), Kelvin (K), and Rankin (R) units.
