Time-in-zone versus TRIMP: strengths and trade-offs

❤️‍🔥 HEART RATE, TRAINING ZONES & LOAD: Measuring what really matters in performance 📊

It’s time to bring HEART RATE back into the conversation ❤️

In this episode of The Training Science Podcast, Dr ‘Martin Buchheit sits down with Dr Ibrahim Akubat to unpack the real science behind HR, training zones/load, and dose-response adaptation, and why these principles still matter in modern coaching.

💓 The evolution of heart rate monitoring in sports science
 📈 Understanding TIME in zone as a significant parameter
 ⏱️ Finding the minimal effective dose for adaptations (30 min/week!)
