Defintion for TRIMP (Training Impulse)

TRIMP (Training Impulse) is a quantitative measure of training load calculated by multiplying exercise duration by average heart rate intensity, often adjusted for individual fitness levels.

Long Definition

TRIMP (Training Impulse) quantifies training load by considering exercise duration and intensity, using heart rate data. It helps assess the physiological impact of workouts. TRIMP is calculated by multiplying exercise duration by a factor based on heart rate zones. For example, a 30-minute run at 70% max heart rate has a lower TRIMP than the same duration at 90%. It aids runners in balancing training stress and recovery, preventing overtraining. By tracking TRIMP, athletes can optimize performance and reduce injury risk, making it a valuable tool for structured training programs.

Kaizen Insights

TRIMP (Training Impulse) is used in Kaizen's training platform to quantify the training load and intensity of workouts. It helps in monitoring and adjusting training plans to optimize performance and recovery.
