Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in her column on , she noted the role not only of the coach, but also of the gimmicks in preparing for the key start to the season.
– Now “intelligent machines” are increasingly interfering with the dialogue with the coach – and they are developing all the time. For example, one of the devices I always have on my arm measures training load based on the duration of my training in certain heart rate zones, which in turn is based on my maximum heart rate.
Once was probably a fantasy, although I trained with such watches almost all my life. But here it is rather a passing function, especially this device is needed for a completely different purpose. It is believed that in 2022 it is its algorithms that most accurately determine the recovery of the body after a given load on the body. And recovery recommendations are based on at least four factors: heart rate variability, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and hours slept. Here it was already necessary to superimpose my subjective feelings on objective data – and together with the trainer to deduce the optimal ratio of training and rest from this.
It proves? Well, you saw something last winter, the preparation for the main races of the season was quite successful, I think,” wrote Stepanova.
