Strava clamps down on vehicle cheats in new update

 

Exercise tracking app Strava has clamped down on “unrealistic” performances being uploaded to its leaderboards, as part of a new update.

The company is now using machine learning to analyse activities, taking into account “57 factors” such as speed and acceleration.

Among its goals, Strava said in a statement, is to determine if any portion of an activity was recorded in a vehicle, in a bid to improve the integrity of its leaderboards.

“Strava has improved leaderboard quality and identifies unrealistic speeds, GPS errors and other anomalies that could skew leaderboard results,” the statement said. “This aims to keep the competition on the app fair for all athletes by removing outliers and potential rule violations.

“If the system detects a vehicle, the activity is flagged, and the user is prompted to crop it or make it private.”

Strava users collect crowns, known as KOMs and QOMs, for posting the fastest time on segments. If a person believes a certain performance is not credible, they are encouraged to flag the activity within the app.

According to Strava, users are now flagging 72% fewer activities as suspected to have been carried out “in a vehicle” since the update rolled out.

The app now plans to widen its technology to other concerns about its leaderboards, catching users who record running activities on a bike, and stopping e-bike rides from showing up on non-motorised leaderboards.

The platform’s rules specifically state that users should not upload public ‘ride’ activities, which appear on leaderboards, if they include data recorded in a car or motorcycle, using an e-bike, or pacing a vehicle.

As well as improving leaderboard monitoring, Strava’s latest update has also targeted its Athlete Intelligence and Flyover tools.

Athlete Intelligence – a short, AI-generated, post-workout analysis unveiled in October last year and available to subscribers only – is now out of its trial phase, and has been supplemented to include power insights and segment analysis.

Strava has also enabled its 3D ‘Flyover’ maps to be shared outside of the platform. Users can now post the map videos, which trace the route of an activity, to Instagram Stories using a share button.

Tripper.. Damn rabbit where have you been?

Rudy.. I don’t know what do you mean by that Tripper

Tripper.. Well, you’ve been quiet and social media. You don’t return my text. I almost think you forgot about me.

Rudy.. No tripper I’ve just been in kind of a funk not really loving life right now. Social media has been bombarded with almost everything negative that could be happening in our world.

Tripper.. Yeah, I get it rabbit it’s a pretty crummy place right now. Doesn’t help that we’ve been in this complete frigid frozen lockdown since about mid December how’s your riding going?

Rudy.. You mean, my lack of the temperatures aren’t bad but everything is covered in a sheet of ice and well I really don’t feel like navigating patches of ice with the probability of breaking a wrist or puncturing a lung

Tripper.. You mean, you don’t own a fart bike? Trails are great right now they groomed to perfection

Rudy.. No fart bikes really aren’t my style going. Slow in the cold doesn’t sound very much fun to me.

Tripper.. What about that indoor trainer thing you know you’ve got an indoor trainer, right?

Rudy.. Yeah, I got one but sitting there peddling in the dark or watching some bike races really isn’t my cup of tea either

Tripper.. You Zwift?

Rudy.. No, don’t do that either. Seems silly like peddling around to a fake world.

Tripper.. I don’t know Rudy have you ever tried it?

Rudy.. No, my trainer is not one of those smart kind of trainers

Tripper.. I’ll tell you what Rabbit got an extra one laying around. I’m gonna drop it off at your house later this week. I know you got a tablet or a phone, correct

Rudy.. Of course, tripper

Tripper.. OK rabbit but I’m gonna be by in a day and I’m gonna get you set up and maybe this will get you out of your funk

Rudy. Do you know what tripper that sounds pretty good?
