Sintesi	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 Although superseded by newer frameworks, the Banister model remains influential and intuitive.	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.	Time-motion analysis with GPS and micro-sensor technology quantifies the movement patterns, workload, and physical demands during training or match play in team sports. Pioneered by Osgnach and colleagues (2010), modern GPS units track athletes' positions in real-time, calculating distance covered, velocity profiles, and acceleration/deceleration frequencies. Combined with heart rate and other sensor data, GPS analysis provides comprehensive workload quantification enabling coaching staff to monitor player fatigue, balance training intensity, and prevent injury. GPS is now standard in elite soccer, rugby, Australian Rules football, and other intermittent sports.
