Training Effect
 

See how the workout improves your fitness

Everyone needs training to maintain or improve fitness level. Physical exercise improves the aerobic performance of the body. Repeated exercise of correctly dimensioned workload causes the body to respond by increasing its maximal performance level. This physiological response is called training effect (TE).

We can achieve fitness with regular exercise, but it should not be necessary to be a sports scientist to get results. We just need the right information that helps us train effectively. Training effect is that simple personal tool.

Training Effect 1

  • Training effect measures the impact of exercise on aerobic fitness.
  • If your target is to improve fitness, training effect is the result you want to see from your workout.
  • Training effect is described in one number from 1.0 to 5.0.
  • Training Effect is based on EPOC (read more on EPOC). Only your heart beat needs to be recorded and analyzed to get your EPOC. Training Effect is the personalized interpretation of the effect of EPOC gained in the exercise. Training effect makes training easy to understand.

When you know the true effect of your workout, you can carry out aerobic training effectively and safely, and your fitness will improve.

Training Effect 2

Training Effect tells you the result of your training in real time. You decide when to stop.

  • You can train at varying levels of intensity during the workout – training effect gives you the progress of exercise
  • Training Effect is for all aerobic sports – all healthy individuals – all equipment – and is comparable across time.
  • Training Effect integrates all training load that improves your fitness level.

Example: Training Effect increases during the workout depending on how hard and how long you exercise. You can decide whether to do an exercise that only maintains your fitness level or to go for improving, or for even highly improving training effect. Training Effect also tells you if the workout is too hard for your current fitness level or body state.
