Abstract

The necessity of measuring all the variables related to training process to understand the improvement of the athlete´s performance, has made the quantification of training load (TL) and the study of its relationship with performance raise interest among the scientific community and coaches [1,2]. Moreover, with the irruption of new more accessible technology and software, the use of methods to control and quantify the TL have been spread in different sports [3-5]. Furthermore, beyond the improvement of performance perspective, the quantification of the TL can prevent from suffering non-functional overreaching, injuries or illnesses avoiding workload spikes [6-8].
