The scientific inspiration for the Performance Manager concept
Andrew R. Coggan, Ph.D.
The relationship between trainingand performance

Scientific studies using mathematical modeling to quantitatively relate training load to performance
• Approximately 30 English language papers• Many different sports studied (i.e., weightlifting,
hammer throwing, running, swimming, cycling, triathlon)
• Variety of mathematical approaches used (e.g., from simple regression to neural networking)
• Vast majority have relied upon Banister’s impulse-response model or some variation thereof.
Impulse-response model of training adaptation
Banister et al., Aust J Sports Med 7:57, 1975
Impulse-response model: effect of “square wave” increase in training load to 100 units/d
Busso et al., J Appl Physiol 92:572, 2002
Prediction of training-induced changes in performance using impulse-response model
Limitations to the impulse-response model
• Mathematically complex, yet overly simplified• Requires frequent, quantitative measurement of
performance (i.e., 20-200 times every 60-90 d)• Parameter estimates still may be insufficiently stable
(precise) to permit highly accurate prediction of future performance
• Inter-study and inter-subject variability in parameter estimates (esp. ka (k1) and kf (k2)) limits ability to apply
“generic” version of model

What is “form”?
Form = “fitness” plus “freshness”!

Performance Manager
Coggan, 2004
Performance Manager: result of “square wave” increase in training load to 100 TSS/d
Uses for the Performance Manager
• Determining optimal long-term training load• Identifying periods of severe overreaching that may
lead to illness or overtraining• Identifying periods of “training stagnation”• Assuring that the progressive overload principle is
applied in a rationale manner• Planning a taper in an attempt to peak for a particular
event

Caveats and limitations
• Accuracy of predictions depends upon:– Accuracy/completeness of underlying data– Use of appropriate time constants (esp. for ATL)
• “Composition” of the training load still matters• Training Manager helps you view the “forest”, but
you should never lose sight of the “trees”
