Training Status

Training Status is a Firstbeat Sports score from 0 to 100 that describes how well balanced an athlete's training is. Training Status is a Sports Premium feature and is also included in Sports Premium+.

Training Status score

• Well balanced: Over 70.
• Moderately balanced: 30–70.
• Out of balance: Below 30.
• A good score requires an adequate training load, balanced short-term and long-term load, and effective recovery.

Factors behind the score

• Acute Training Load: The sum of training impulse (TRIMP) values over the last 7 days, compared with the athlete's personal training load scale. High is over 80% of max, optimal is 50–80% and low is below 50%.
• Acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR): Acute Training Load compared with the typical load over the last 28 days. About 1.0 is the sweet spot; below 1.0 means less training than usual and above 1.0 means more. Over 1.4 is increasing, 0.7–1.4 is optimal or steady and below 0.7 is decreasing. Avoid very quick changes in load to avoid injuries.
• Recovery: The average of the most recent Quick Recovery Test (QRT) results, with more weight on recent tests. Recovery counts only when at least two QRTs are done within the last 7 days. Good is 66–100%, moderate is 34–65% and poor is 0–33%.
