Three Different Aspects of Training Load Monitoring

In 2014 I wrote Training Load Monitoring – Seeing the Big Picture where I have outlined a simple model for training load monitoring. In this video, I am expanding that model as well as modifying it to depict my current thought process regarding the topic.

In the video below I am also discussing the following:

  • The relationship between performance, training load, adaptation and readiness
  • Training load and readiness quadrants
  • Decision-making quadrant from my article for Aspetar Journal
  • Three different aspects of training load monitoring with the special emphasis on “game normalization”

As with most models, this one is a simplification that is good enough to get yourself oriented in complexities of training load monitoring. I am looking forward hearing your thoughts and feedback about the material provided.

Hopefully I managed to create readable narrative.

On Individualization

In the video below, I am using framework outlined in Three Different Aspects of Training Load Monitoring and provide some thoughts on individualization, especially the fact that individualization can and should be applied on multiple scales, and just because you are using relative training intensities (e.g. %1RM, %MAS) or relative training load (e.g. volume of running expressed as…

William Sands on Athlete Monitoring

Athlete preparation and performance continues to increase in complexity and costs. Modern coaches are shifting from reliance on personal memory, experience, and opinion to evidence from collected training load data. Training load monitoring may hold vital information for developing systems of monitoring that follow the training process with such precision that both performance prediction and day-to-day management of training…
