  1. The Performance ManagerTM Andrew R. Coggan, Ph.D. Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, MO 63021

  2. Scientific studies using mathematical modeling to quantitatively relate training load to performance • Approximately 30 English language papers • Many different sports studied (i.e., weightlifting, hammer throwing, running, swimming, cycling, triathlon) • Variety of mathematical approaches used (e.g., from simple regression to neural networking) • Vast majority have relied upon Eric Banister’s impulse-response model or some variation thereof.

  3. Impulse-response model of training adaptation Banister et al., AustJ Sports Med 7:57, 1975

  4. Impulse-response model: effect of “square wave” increase in training load to 100 units/d

  5. Prediction of training-induced changes in performance using impulse-response model Busso et al., J Appl Physiol 92:572, 2002

  6. Limitations to the impulse-response model • Mathematically complex, yet overly simplified • Requires frequent, quantitative measurement of performance (i.e., 20-200 times every 60-90 d) • Parameter estimates still may be insufficiently stable (precise) to permit highly accurate prediction of future performance • Inter-study and inter-subject variability in parameter estimates (esp. ka (k1) and kf (k2)) limits ability to apply “generic” version of model

  7. Representative studies from the literature

  10. Performance Manager: result of “square wave” increase in training load to 100 TSS/d

  11. Uses for the Performance Manager • Determining optimal long-term training load • Identifying periods of severe overreaching that may lead to illness or overtraining • Identifying periods of “training stagnation” • Assuring the progressive overload principle is applied in a rational manner • Planning a taper in an attempt to peak for a particular event

  19. Performance versus TSB: effect of duration

  20. TSB at time of personal best for power(all durations)

  21. TSB at time of personal best for power(<5 min)

  22. TSB at time of personal best for power(>10 min)

  23. Caveats and limitations • Accuracy of predictions depends upon: • accuracy/completeness of underlying data • use of appropriate time constants (esp. for ATL) • “Composition” of the training load still matters • Training Manager helps you view the “forest”, but you should never lose sight of the “trees”
