FITfileR is an R package to read FIT files produced by fitness tracking devices like cycling computers or sports watches. The intention for FITfileR is to use native R code to read the files directly, with no reliance on the FIT SDK or other FIT parsing tools. As such it should be platform independent, and not require any additional software outside of a working version of R.
FITfileR should be considered a work in progress, and many features available in the complete SDK are not currently implemented.
Feel free to open an issue if something doesn’t work or you notice a feature you’d like adding.
Currently FITfileR is only available on Github, and can be installed using the remotes package.
if(!requireNamespace("remotes")) {
install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("grimbough/FITfileR")
