Monitoring Training and Performance in Athletes is a compilation of evidence-based guidelines and best practices of athlete monitoring for practitioners, who are increasingly being asked to implement monitoring systems and to collect, analyze, and interpret data that ultimately result in training adjustments to optimize performance." -- Provided by publisher.
Why monitor athletes? -- Research tools for athlete monitoring -- Physiological effects of training stress -- Quantifying training stress -- Measures of fitness and fatigue -- Current monitoring practices and technologies -- Integrating monitoring with coaching -- Case study example for an individual sport (weightlifting) -- Case study example for a team sport (soccer).
