A universal number would assume that we all recover from swimming, biking, and running at the same rate. <BR/>In theory, what you seek is possible, but I believe it would be very athlete/sport dependent. WKO+ allows one to define the moving averages (MA) of ATL and CTL for this very reason. The amount of time an athlete can hold fitness and shed fatigue are unique to that athlete. Additionally, each sport will affect the athlete's body differently than another.<BR/>The MA's in WKO+ Performance Management Chart (PMC) are just empirical default values you may need to modify for both the individual athlete and their respective sport(s).<BR/>Try cusomizing ATL and CTL MA's within the PMC for each athlete and each athlete's sport.<BR/>I believe further clues can be found by testing the athletes Rate of Fatigue and by running a statistical analysis of the Impulse Response Model (thanks Dr. Phil Skiba).<BR/>This is an interesting and complex puzzle. It would be nice to know how a 150 TSS bike ride is going to affect my next run. And how a 150 rTSS is going to affect my next ride.<BR/>I think it is possible to learn these values, but everyone will have to customize their own formula a bit.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984921134547639310noreply@blogger.com
