Training loads are any small, medium or large effort with a specific and preferably measurable goal.
Load types:
External loads: they are the quantified workouts with a purpose.
Internal loads: the effect of external load on our bodies
Psychological load: is the perception of the training done.
The charges depend on the age / level of training an athlete, recovery will be different, not everyone can make the same plan. An applied load has a different effect on each person and the result is caused by application of load on the body of an athlete. The results of these loads will reflect in different ways:
Simple or partial: like increased heart rate during a specified time.
Immediate: like weight loss after a training session.
Delayed: as the sum of the immediate effects either weekly (microcycle) or monthly (mesocycle).
Accumulative: as the sum of the lagged effects long term. (meso / macro cycles)
In order for the sports result to progress, the components of the training loads must progress as:
1.- Duration of the stimulus. (time / intensity)
2.- Volume (cycles)
3.- Rest IF is a PRIMORDIAL component so that the load influences / modifies / stimulates the athlete.
The undulatory loads (1st photo) are the most used because they present increase, decrease and maintenance of the load, it depends on the period of time of the training. In addition to the training period, the type of sport also influences. In endurance sports, variations in volume are combined, since the intensity is usually kept constant.
