ABSTRACT
A systems modelling approach has been used to quantify the dose-response nature of training. Considerable attention has been focused on the modelling process with little work on the determination of the training impulse (TRIMP) scores. Currently, the methods employed to calculate TRIMPs are subject to various limitations including the use of generic ordinal category or exponential weighting factors for higher exercise intensities. These weightings are necessary to prevent excessively high scores from long duration, low intensity bouts of exercise. We propose a new method to calculate TRIMP scores based upon a whole body bioenergetic model. Our method is individual specific, removing many of the previous limitations. Furthermore, this model could enable a greater comparison of continuous and interval training methods. This model takes into account the length of repetition(s), concentration of the interval session and mode of recovery. This approach, while requiring further research, offers a potential improvement in the accuracy of training load calculations.
