Sammendrag
Athletes schedule their training and recovery in periods, often utilizing a pre-defined
strategy. To avoid underperformance and/or compromised health, the external load during training
should take into account the individual’s physiological and perceptual responses. No single variable
provides an adequate basis for planning, but continuous monitoring of a combination of several
indicators of internal and external load during training, recovery and off-training as well may
allow individual responsive adjustments of a training program in an effective manner. From a
practical perspective, including that of coaches, monitoring of potential changes in health and
performance should ideally be valid, reliable and sensitive, as well as time-efficient, easily applicable,
non-fatiguing and as non-invasive as possible. Accordingly, smartphone applications, wearable
sensors and point-of-care testing appear to offer a suitable monitoring framework allowing responsive
adjustments to exercise prescription. Here, we outline 24-h monitoring of selected parameters by these
technologies that (i) allows responsive adjustments of exercise programs, (ii) enhances performance
and/or (iii) reduces the risk for overuse, injury and/or illness.
