Managing training load is critical to prevent injury and ensure adaptation.Tools and concepts:
- Acute vs. Chronic Load: Short-term vs. long-term load.
- Training Stress Balance (TSB): Measures freshness/fatigue.
- RPE-based Load: Session RPE x duration.
- Regular check-ins with athletes on fatigue, sleep, and mood.
"The dose makes the poison, and the adaptation."
