An optimal control approach to the high intensity interval training design
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Prediction of the acute response induced by various training protocols is of great importance when looking for a systematic approach in designing high intensity training (HIT) sessions. The prediction of some of the indexes of the metabolic load (e.g. pulmonary oxygen consumption (VO2(t), [mlO2/min]), blood lactate concentration ([Lab]-, mM), anaerobic source depletion (AnS, [J])) induced by the mechanical load (i.e. the intensity of the exercise (P(t), [W]), can rely on theoretical tools like mathematical models. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to develop a bioenergetic model of cycling best suited for an optimal control framework and 2) to use an optimal control algorithm (Bertolazzi2005) to predict the best combination of the parameters defining a HIT session (Buchheit2013).
