RESULTS EVALUATION Understanding the structure of your results is the first step in the process of learning how to properly plan your training program. It's widely accepted that results at different distances (i.e. the level of development of physiological mechanisms responsible for energy production in each distance time category) are closely connected with each other. However, the structure of results at various distances is quite different for different types of athletes (i.e. sprinters vs. distance competitors). Another factor to consider is your age, since you need to know not only the current results structure, but also be able to forecast its progression over time.
Please keep in mind that each
sport has a specific "preferred age" for the projected achievement
of maximum results (consistent with World and Olympic levels). For
instance - swimmers currently tend to reach their peak anywhere from
ages 19 - 24 (in the past it was even younger). However, in
sports such as cycling and triathlon, the pinnacle of physiological
developments is usually reached between the ages of 28-30.
We can also help to check your personal model in off-line mode, if you wish the option of training with one of our certified coaches. WHY RESULTS STRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT Your current results (as well as your "goal" or planned ones) are directly connected with your maximum effort results on short ("Speed Reserve") and long ("Endurance Reserve") distances. You may not know all or any of them at the present time, but what you will need to know is the level of these results in relation to your present best result on best distance, as well as its relation to future (planned or goal) results on that distance. This knowledge will provide you with an understanding of the limitations and deficiencies of your previous preparation. Knowing these, and how to correct them, will also provide a clear path for improvement, both in the short and long term . In essence, you cannot start intelligent planning of your training without knowledge of your present condition and its structure. Our Results Evaluation Tool™ provides you with this knowledge, and creates a clear path for future planning. Just enter any distance into the program and receive projected (model) results at selected distances. Then just enter the actual result at that distance to see whether you have a speed or endurance deficiency.
