Re: The Integration of Internal and External Training Load Metrics in Hurling – interpretation beyond a significant relationship required
Journal Title: Journal of Human Kinetics - Year 2017, Vol 60, Issue 6
Abstract
We write to you in regard to the recently published manuscript ‘The Integration of Internal and External Training Load Metrics in Hurling’. The authors, Malone, Doran, Akubat and Collins conducted a study to investigate whether the ratio between external and internal training load measures accrued during a hurling simulation protocol, related with measures of aerobic fitness established via laboratory based methods. Malone and colleagues were therefore considering the physiological response (i.e., internal load) to the specific stimulus. The authors should be commended on undertaking a study of this nature, which is applied and highly translational for the practitioner. Such an approach can help the practitioner to determine an athletes state of ‘fitness’, depending on their response to a given load (e.g., reduced internal load to an external load would suggest the athlete has become more efficient [or fitter]).
