Summary of The New "Adaptation Zone" for Age Group Endurance Athletes

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The "Adaptation Zone" is a new concept for age group endurance athletes that involves staying within a band of training intensity that is hard enough to stimulate adaptation, but not so hard that the body can't recover. HRV can be used to monitor training intensity and help athletes stay within their adaptation zone.

• 00:00:00 The new "Adaptation Zone" for age group endurance athletes is to stay within a band of training intensity that is harder than being under trained, but not so hard that the body is actually working so hard it can't adapt. This is done by motivation, knowing your unique adaptation zone, and staying away from over training.

It provides a step-by-step guide on how to measure HRV and use the data to determine when to back off or increase training intensity.
