Important building blocks of the training process are the various load normatives:

  • Frequency → Frequency of training sessions per day or week.
  • Intensity → absolute (pace, weight, power) or relative indication (% VO2max, HRmax, % 1RM) of the exerciser’s load.
  • Type → movement execution and position, as well as the main motor demands to be trained (more related to the cardiovascular and/or neuromuscular system).
  • Time → duration or frequency of one/several training stimuli or exercises.

Principle of the effective stimulus 🥵

This principle takes a high priority when it comes to achieving training goals. How high the set stimulus is in training primarily determines how high the body’s adaptation response will be.

The training load consists of three components (frequency, intensity, time). This load can be characterized as follows:

  • excessive/excessive
  • adequate
  • receiving
  • recovering
  • useless
