Table 1.
Volume and intensity metrics definitions.
| Code | Metrics | Definition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | TDC | Total distance covered (m) |
Total distance covered in meters |
| ACC | Number of acceleration (m/s2) |
Number of events >2.50 m/s2 | |
| DEC | Number of deceleration (m/s2) |
Number of events <−2.50 m/s2 | |
| HSR | High-speed running (m) |
Total distance covered >21 km/h | |
| Intensity | EDI | Equivalent distance index (%) |
Ratio between ED (represents the distance that the athlete would have covered at constant speed by using the total energy consumed during a training session) and the TDC |
| MP | Metabolic power (W/Kg) |
Energy expenditure per unit of time, above resting (speed · energy cost) | |
| RTDC | Relative distance covered (m/min) |
Total distance covered in meters/time | |
| RHSR | Relative high-speed running (m/min) | Total distance covered >21 km/h/time |
