  1. Managing Athlete Performance: The Science of Monitoring Coaches Conference, UWC Cape Town, 2012 Wayne Lombard BSpSc (Hons) Biokinetics , CSCS (NSCA) Presently Studying MPhil Biokinetics (UCT ESSM) Discovery High Performance Centre, Sports Science Institute of South Africa

  2. A Paradigm Shift Moving away from using sports science as a “one-stop-shop” Is a key into the marriage between coaches and scientists…. By recognizing that it is now a 24 hour 365 day a year job!

  3. Why is Monitoring becoming so important? It is a method of assessing the imbalances between training stressors and recovery

  4. Overtraining vs. Overreaching Overtraining is a physical, behavioral, and emotional condition that occurs when the volume and intensity of an individual's exercise exceeds their recovery capacity OR Untreated or Long term overreaching Overreaching An accumulation of training and/or non-training stress resulting in a short-term decrement in performance capacity with or without related physiological and psychological signs and symptoms of overtraining BUT a recovery phase allows for super- compensation to occur

  5. Overtraining The summative effect of all the stressors will depend on the intensity, nature, duration and distributionover time of the stress This definition allows one to recognize that there are different types of stress e.g. social, psychological and physiological.

  6. How do we detect Overtraining? Science has as yet not set up a sensitive gauge of overtraining that is non invasive, inexpensive and applicable to all athletes. Scientists tell us therefore to monitor indicators of fatigue.

  7. Selected Indicators: FOUR CATEGORIES Psychological / Physiological / Biomechanical / Immunological Change in mood states lethargy Insomnia Loss of appetite Impaired physical performance Gradual weight loss Poor co-ordination Increase in morning HR >5 beats Slower recovery in HR after exertion Heavy legs, limited recovery Inc/dec concentration of specific blood molecules Alterations in immune function

  8. Athlete Management Periodisation is a plan for conditioning, based on the manipulation of VOLUME and INTENSITY of physical work and other variables, over a specific period of time. The goal of periodisation is to plan in advance to achieve peak performance at a specific time without overtraining or injury The long and short term management of our athletes is the key to performance. How do we ensure that we have positive adaptations to your training prescription?

  9. Periodization helps an Athlete adapt to training demands. Training Adaptation Failure To low a load or stress on body Adaptation level Alarm Stage • Sub-optimal: • Diet • Recovery management Over Training / load

  10. Periodization is Key! Off Season (5 Months) Pre Season (2 Months) In Season ( 4 Months) Active Rest (1 Month) Macro Cycle (1 year long) Meso Cycle 1 Meso Cycle 2 Meso Cycle 3 Meso Cycle 4 Micro cycles Meso Cycle 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 Meso Cycle 2 7 Meso Cycle 3 8 9 10 11 12 Meso Cycle 4 1 2 3 4

  11. How have we put it all together?

  12. AMAS Athlete Monitoring & Assessment System “Brining Science to life”

  13. Integration of subjective data compared to objective physiological responses to exercise & recovery

  14. Subjective Data

  15. Subjective Data Capturing

  16. Subjective Data Capturing

  17. Objective Data:Physiological Responses Heart rate monitoring • Use of HR zones (accumulated time spent in each heart rate zone) • TRIMP • % Heart rate reserve • Orthostatic • Morning HR • Recovery heart rates • Heart rate variability

  18. Objective Data:Physiological Responses Heart rate recovery “Heart rate recovery is the rate at which heart rate decreases, usually in the first minute or two, after moderate to heavy exercise and is a consequence of parasympathetic re activation and sympathetic withdrawal” (Borreson and Lambert 2007)

  19. Objective Data:Physiological Responses Heart Rate Interval Monitoring SystemHIMS The HIMS is a system which quantifies training volume, intensity and subjective feelings of fatigue in relation to Heart rate recovery levels

  20. Objective Data:Physiological Responses

  21. Practical Example

  22. Monitoring is to elite sport what accounting is to business – constant, accurate and ongoing measurement so that decision-making and training programmes can be optimised.
