Heart rate monitor, Fitness level, Periodisation, ´Planning, OvertrainingAbstract
This article discusses a new method designed for the monitoring of training, which is easily accessible to both coaches and physical trainers. Based on heart rate variability, it allows us to assess players’ fitness level in a reliable and objective manner. Involving few constraints and requiring little equipment, this method is an innovative tool which may prove very useful in optimizing and customizing training loads based on future competitions, and in preventing the risk of overtraining.
