AFTER the FURNACE
Playing tournaments in extreme heat where you may face 6-7 games in 10 days or so and on- turf temperatures can rocket past 40 degrees C is not just competition—it’s a physiological siege. Extreme heat doesn’t just drain fluids; it reshapes how the body performs, recovers, and adapts. For athletes and coaches, understanding how to use and adapt the necessary full spectrum recovery programs in these conditions is essential to sustaining performance across a tournament block.
ACTING on IMPULSE
Training Impulse (TRIMP) is a well-established metric used to quantify training load in athletes by assessing the intensity and duration of physical exertion. It integrates heart rate data into a formula that reflects an athlete's physiological response to training, facilitating effective monitoring and management of training loads. Dive in
