Overtraining Risk Score
Assess your overtraining risk by comparing weekly training load to your recent training history.
Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio
1.33
Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio vs Training Hours This Week
Fórmula
## Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) **ACWR = Current Week Load / Average of Last 4 Weeks** The ACWR helps identify injury and overtraining risk. ### Risk Zones | ACWR | Risk | |---|---| | 0.8 - 1.3 | Sweet spot (low risk) | | 1.3 - 1.5 | Moderate risk | | >1.5 | High risk | | <0.8 | Detraining zone | Poor sleep (under 7 hours) adds additional overtraining risk.
Ejemplo Resuelto
An athlete training 8 hours this week with a 4-week average of 6 hours, sleeping 7 hours per night.
- 01ACWR = 8 / 6 = 1.33
- 02Sleep penalty = 0 (7 hours is adequate)
- 03Risk score = 1.33 x 50 + 0 = 67 / 100
- 04Load increase = (8 - 6) / 6 x 100 = 33%
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is a safe training load increase?
The 10% rule suggests increasing weekly training load by no more than 10% per week. An ACWR between 0.8 and 1.3 is considered the sweet spot.
What are signs of overtraining?
Persistent fatigue, declining performance, elevated resting heart rate, poor sleep, mood changes, frequent illness, and loss of motivation are common signs.
How does sleep affect overtraining risk?
Sleep is when most physical recovery occurs. Consistently sleeping under 7 hours significantly increases injury risk and delays recovery.
