Learn how to:
- Combine internal and external load to build a more complete picture of training response.
- Understand metrics including TRIMP, TRIMP/min and time in heart rate zones to evaluate cardiovascular load.
- Assess whether training is delivering the intended physiological stimulus.
- Use submaximal fitness testing to track fitness and adaptation throughout the season.
- Consider female athlete health without making assumptions based on menstrual cycle phase alone.
- Build athlete and coach buy-in by turning data into useful conversations and decisions.
“TRIMP is one of the metrics we look at, whether that’s how we are prescribing a session and an aim for TRIMP that
we’re trying to get."
