Training Load Management: Preventing Injury and Optimizing Performance

[CycleStrategist]

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."

How do you monitor load for your athletes?
