What I do With Your Player Monitoring Results

Data collection is only as good as what you do with it.

When you become part of the Aussie Rules Training Player Monitoring Program, you'll send information to me and I will decipher it for you and whip it up in a neat little weekly report with a few recommendations on it.

I sent on of these out to other day to a player who is part of the program and below is what it entails. He's currently at the back end of a minor knee hyper-extension 7 - 10 days ago which explains his ratings.

Aussie Rules Training Player Monitoring Week 1 Results

This is your 7 day report determined by your daily ratings.It the average of your scores over the 7 days from March 2nd to March 9th.

Resting Heart Rate - 60 beats per minute

HRV points - 9.43

Soreness - 7

Training RPE - 4

Weekly Training Load - 503

Sleep Quality - 5.5

Sleep Duration - 9hrs/night

Nutrition Quality - 73%

Weekly Recommendations: focus on sleep quality as you're getting enough sleep but the quality could be higher. This can be helped by "turning off" before bed with some diaphragmatic breathing and try and stay off your phone/laptop once you do the breathing - get yourself a good book! 

We also want to keep track of the weekly training load as you'll start back at training soon but to avoid a repeat or new injury, we want the weekly training load to increase gradually. Just remember that the session that would have normally registered a 7 or 8 out of 10 RPE will now surely be a 10 with your lay-off and loss of aerobic and muscle strength conditioning.

Let me know when you're back into training and also as long as the knee injury is present, put a yes in the sickness box (I've been changing them to yes in my spreadsheet of yours) as this has the same effect as sickness on the body (elevated HRV, RHR etc).

You'll receive your weekly report each week whether you play or not. For more info check this link out.
