Relationship Between Various Training Load Measures in Elite Cyclists during Training, Road Races and Time Trials.
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance 2018 October 10
PURPOSE:: The relationship between various training load (TL) measures in professional cycling is not well explored. This study investigates the relationship between mechanical energy spent (in kJ), sRPE, LuTRIMP and TSS in training, races and time trials (TT).
METHODS:: From 4 consecutive years field data was collected from 21 professional cyclists and categorized as being collected in training, racing or TT's. kJ spent, sRPE, LuTRIMP and TSS were calculated and the correlations between the various TL's were made.
RESULTS:: 11,655 sessions were collected from which 7,596 sessions had heart rate (HR) data and 5,445 sessions had an RPE-score available. The r between the various TL's during training was almost perfect. The r between the various TL's during racing was almost perfect or very large. The r between the various TL's during TT's was almost perfect or very large. For all relationships between TSS and one of the other measurements of TL (kJ spent, sRPE and LuTRIMP) a significant different slope was found.
CONCLUSIONS:: kJ spent, sRPE, LuTRIMP and TSS have all a large or almost perfect relationship with each other during training, racing and TT's but during racing both sRPE and LuTRIMP have a weaker relationship with kJ spent and TSS. Further, the significant different slope of TSS versus the other measurements of TL during training and racing has the effect that TSS collected in training and road-races differ by 120% while the other measurements of TL (kJ spent, sRPE and LuTRIMP) differ by only 73%, 67%, and 68% respectively).
