Σύνοψη	Session rate of perceived exertion (sRPE) is a simple, athlete-centered method to quantify training load by combining perceived exertion intensity (RPE, 0-10 scale) with session duration. Introduced by Carl Foster (2001), sRPE avoids the need for external equipment (heart rate monitors, GPS, force plates) and captures the integrated physiological and psychological demands of any training modality. Despite its simplicity, sRPE correlates well with objective physiological markers (heart rate, lactate, VO2) and is widely adopted in elite and recreational sports for load management and recovery planning.	The acute-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) is the ratio of acute training load (typically the past 1 week) to chronic training load (typically the rolling 4-week average). Formalized by Tim Gabbett (2016), ACWR is a widely adopted metric for predicting injury and illness risk in sports. The logic is straightforward: rapid increases in training load—when acute load spikes far above what the athlete has adapted to—exceed tissue tolerance and increase injury risk. Conversely, maintaining ACWR within optimal ranges (typically 0.8-1.3) is associated with better performance and lower injury incidence. ACWR monitoring is now standard in elite sports for load management.	The Training Impulse (TRIMP) model, developed by Eric Banister and colleagues (1975), quantifies the physiological stimulus of a training session by combining duration and intensity. The Banister fitness-fatigue model proposes that training effects on performance follow two opposing dynamics: fitness (beneficial) accumulates with time constant tau_f (~42 days) and fatigue (temporary decrement) accumulates faster but decays quickly (tau_d ~5-10 days). By tracking TRIMP and modeling these two processes, coaches can predict performance trajectories and optimize training load. Although superseded by newer frameworks, the Banister model remains influential and intuitive.
