9. Aspects of Periodization
Within each window:
count How many exercises?
sum (duration, load) How many minutes, …?
max (duration, intensity, load) Did you recently …?
stddev (duration, intensity, load) How varying was …?
Determiners
of specific activities
just in the morning/afternoon
certain intensity ranges (zones)
Sum of duration over 14-day period
Max of intensity over 2-day period
Sum of duration over 21-day period, morning sessions
Sum of duration over 21-day period, intensities 6, …, 9
Maximum of load over 7-day period, cycling …
