1. A computer-implemented method for tracking an activity, the method comprising:

  • receiving a location update associated with a first user;

    performing a test on the location update, the test varying based on a type of the activity;

    adding the location update to a queue of location updates in response to the location update passing the test;

    determining an event occurring during the activity, the event associated with the location update and a performance of the first user while crossing a location of the location update during a past activity;

    providing a feedback to the first user corresponding to the event occurring during the activity;

    determining performance information associated with the first user based on the queue of location updates;

    computing a size of a bounding box based on a distance between location coordinates in the queue of location updates, the size of the bounding box varying based on the distance between location coordinates;

    determining a stop of the activity by comparing the size of the bounding box to a size threshold, the size threshold based on the type of the activity;

    determining a transition of the activity from stopped to moving;

    determining an accumulated stopped time; and

    modifying the performance information associated with the first user by removing the accumulated stopped time from a total time of activity of the first user.
