Hi there. Absolutely, you can use RPE and wellness - two evidence-based methods that only require pen and paper - to measure load and response in your athletes. RPE being a scale of intensity that can be multiplied by time to give you a "session RPE Load". Then you can track responses to training load with a subjective wellness questionnaire. I discuss both methods further in these videos: RPE: th-cam.com/video/YqXvO49Qy2I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s62Kz0ZYggzvtSIo Wellness Questionnaires: th-cam.com/video/o01MbWyGx1w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oBifAm_rzML31GFg I've also described in more detail in this open-access article in the Strength and Conditioning journal: journals.lww.com/nsca-scj/fulltext/2018/12000/developing_cost_effective,_evidence_based_load.11.aspx Let me know if you have any specific questions!
@@globalperformanceinsights Jo thank you so much for the resources recommended.. can you do a video on interaction of ergogenic aids with exercise and performance. It will be useful for many. Also share with me if you have any related sources.
Thanks Jo!
You're welcome!
Jo can you explain a bit of self monitoring strategies where load monitoring devices are not available for athletes and coaches.
