Operational Aims

The operational aims are as follows:

  1. Predicting the effect of specific training stimulus on athletes' internal load in order to optimize training load management on an individual basis;
  2. Analyzing the inter-temporal relationship between training load and athletes' potential (maximal) performance;
  3. Quantifying the risk of overtraining;
  4. Identification of relevant sports-medical proxies and indicators of athletes’ internal training load;
  5. Identifying reliable predictors for athletes' maximal performance and finding optimal ways to test the latter on a regular and reconcilable way.
