To model this energy production in an individualized way, an adaptation anda reinterpretation (including a physiological meaning of parameters) of the three-component Margaria-Morton model wereperformed. The model is applied to the muscles involved in a given task. The introduction of physiological meanings waspossible thanks to the measurement of physiological characteristics for a given athlete. A method for creating a digital twin wastherefore proposed. The twins thus created were validated by comparison with field performance, experimental observations,and literature data. Simulations of record times and 3-minute all-out tests were consistent with experimental data. Consideringthe literature, the model provided good estimates of the time course of muscle metabolite concentrations (e.g., lactate andphosphocreatine). It also simulated the behavior of oxygen kinetics at exercise onset and during recovery. This methodologyhas a wide range of applications, including prediction and optimization of the performance of individually modeled athletes.
