  • Quick correction in simulating Typical Error

    I am awaiting review and opinions/critiques from statistics wizard Will Hopkins for my How to visualize test change scores for coaches, but even on his first look he pointed to one small error I did in simulating typical error for vertical jump. It is not huge error, but it is an error in representing typical error in measurement.

With physical preparation, there will always be a destination, objective, goal, event, date or desired adaptation when planning, programming, and...

  • How to Visualize Test Change Scores for Coaches

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 09/11/2013

    Coaches are not interested in making inferences to a population, statistical significance, nor mean values (P<0.01). What they are interested are individual athletes, their reactions to training and what are practically significant and meaningful changes.

  • Real-Time Fatigue Monitoring using Metabolic Power and CP/W’

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 26/10/2013

    Over the years there were couple of tries to monitor fatigue real-time in team sports, such as soccer. The most simple one was to use heart rate (HR) data and see if the players were getting tired by checking if the HR was getting higher and higher. Long story short – this doesn’t work and I have no clue…

  • Intensity-Effort Table for Strength Training

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 25/09/2013

    Continuing on my rant on three parameters of intensity in strength training I decided to update my Percent-Repetition Chart from August, 2012 that seems to be quite popular (I have seen it in couple of blogs and some recent books – I don’t mind – au contraire – I feel pride).
