Book Description
The evolution of load monitoring processes is advancing at a dizzying pace. The evolution of sports as an industry has conditioned training theories and has brought about a notable change in such fundamental aspects as load prescription. Thanks to EPTS and other technologies, we increasingly know more about the athlete. Nor can we forget that this has led to the emergence of a scientific perspective within the coaching staff. In this way, load monitoring gradually ceases to be a task of the physical trainer and becomes a task of the Sport Scientist. The future of this role within the coaching staff will probably be determined by the professionals ability to improve the analysis of the response of each athlete to the training stimulus, both internally (internal load) and externally (external load), since the relationship between load, sports performance and injury prevention is very close. However, we cannot forget that technological advances and new load-monitoring formats may appear. Undoubtedly, one of the objectives of the sports industry will be to develop lighter, smaller and less invasive EPTS that can also be applied to different contexts.
