Deakin University Research on Athlete Monitoring

Optimise Your Training with Athlete Monitoring

WHY USE AN ATHLETE MONITORING PROGRAM?

Athletic preparation requires the careful balancing of stress (training) and recovery. Insufficient stress leads to under-performance, whereas insufficient recovery leads to overtraining, injury and illness. Therefore it is important to monitor the balance of stress and recovery throughout the season to:

  • • detect and intervene when things aren’t going as planned,
  • • look back and learn from, and
  • • ultimately improve athletic performance.

However anecdotal evidence and previous research by our team suggest there may be further beneficial outcomes beyond this which warrant further investigation.
