Performance = Fitness – Fatigue

Training–PerformanceRelationships

Performance is dependent upon the accumulatedfitness and the current fatigue levels.

Because of the non‐linear responses in fitness andfatigue and the individual characteristics it isdifficult to follow an athletes individual response.

Monitoring systems help us better understand anddirect this process – using various markers offatigue and recovery

MarkersofFatigue&Recovery:OverreachingandOvertrainingResearch

Poor performance Training incompetence

Physiological Markers ↓HRmax

HR as submaximal workload

Autonomic imbalance

Blood Markers ↑Muscle damage and catabolism

↑ Inflammation

Altered hormonal responses

Perceptual Markers ↑ Stress

↑ Fatigue

↑ Soreness

↓ Recovery

↓ Sleep

CommonSignsofOverreaching‐Overtraining

Urhausen and Kindermann (2002), Halson et al (2003)

Psycho‐BiologicalBasisofFatigue

Many biochemical / physiological / psychological ‘markers’

Most of limited practical value?.......

Time for analysis, cost, invasiveness etc…

The same relationships observed in research studies are notalways observed in the field…. The environment is differentto ‘training studies’.

Athlete fatigue in the field can be much more complicatedthan simplified models shown in research papers

Summary

Training elicits changes in fitness and fatigue

Performance is a function of the balance of fitness and fatigue

Monitoring these responses are important for understanding and guiding the control of the training process

Session‐RPE:Asimplemethod

Foster et al., 2001

Determining session RPE:

Ask athletes “How was your work out?” 

30 min following bout

Calculate:

RPE = Global intensity

Training Load = duration x RPE

EXAMPLE:

RPE = 5 (HARD SESSION)

Duration = 40 min

Load = 5 x 40 = 200 AU

Validityofsession‐RPE

HR and Blood Lactate Correlates of RPE during Football:

851 sessions of soccer small‐sided games (4 x 4 min bouts)

Heart Rate and Blood Lactate Measures during bouts

RESULTS

43.1% of the adjusted variance in RPE could be explained by HR alone.

The addition of [BLa‐] data allowed for 57.8% of the adjusted variance in RPE to 

be predicted

These results suggest session‐RPE a better indicator of global exercise intensity

Summary

MAKINGAMODELWORK:

1.PlanningandImplementingLoads

PlanningLoads

1. Provide loading guidelines for week (intended)

a) Account for chronic loadings and acute spikes

2. Coach chooses drill according to tactical requirements / goals

a) Check if meets intended technical /tactical goals

b) Determine projected loading to meet periodisation goals/rules:• Training variation (monotony)

• Awareness of within‐week spikes (accelerations, high speeds and legs‐legs)

• Recovery after previous and before next match (inseason)

3. Modify individuals to meet fitness / medical / physiotherapy / wellness goalsa) Plan additional running or strength and conditioning

b) Modify drills deemed to be of risk (screening)

4. Compare actual loads to predicted loads
