Training Load is an estimate of the physical stress exerted on your body during and after a workout, based on parameters such as training time, distance, and intensity. This metric directly relates to your body's fatigue level.
After each workout, the Training Load can be calculated using the duration and heart rate of the exercise. By tracking the daily Training Load over seven days, you can observe fluctuations in your weekly Training Load curve.
Following a workout, physical fitness initially decreases but gradually increases with proper diet and sleep, often surpassing the original fitness level—a phenomenon known as supercompensation. To improve fitness, it's crucial to balance training and rest; continuous overloading can lead to suboptimal results.
Aerobic Training Effect (ATE) Ratings:
<1.0: Light activity or warm-up
1.0-1.9: Relaxed state (low intensity, helps in relaxation and recovery)
2.0-2.9: Basic training (maintains basic aerobic fitness)
3.0-3.9: Effective training (gradually enhances fitness)
4.0-4.9: Intensive training (promotes significant fitness improvement)
5.0: Extreme challenge (high-risk, requires full recovery)
Anaerobic Training Effect (AnTE) Ratings:
<1.0: Light activity or warm-up
1.0-1.9: Light activation (awakens muscles with light intensity)
2.0-2.9: Maintenance level (maintains current muscle status)
3.0-3.9: Moderate improvement (enhances muscle strength)
4.0-4.9: Significant enhancement (promotes substantial fitness improvement)
5.0: Extreme challenge (high-risk, requires full recovery)
