Abstract

The aim of this study is to support track and field athletes to keep their motivation. Our approach is based on collection, extraction, and visualization of athlete’s activities by using blog articles. We collect blog articles written by track and field athletes. We extract menus, quantity, and the detail of training menus from these articles. We use the hidden Markov model (HMM) to extract these data. We then visualize the training and record data as graphs and tables. We provide athletes with various graphs and tables such as the distance graph.
