What are the Advanced analysis within Session Analysis?
This article explains how, when and where advanced analyses are displayed in the Session analysis screens and what they are.
The advanced metrics are:
- ACWL: Ratio between the Acute and the Chronic workload
Formula: Acute Load / Chronic Load - Monotony: Load variation within the week
Formula: Acute Load / Standard Deviation of the Acute Load - Strain: Overall stress produced by the load over the week
Formula: Sum Acute Load * (Acute Load / Std. Dev. of the Acute Load) - Training Stress Balance: The difference between the chronic workload and the acute workload
Formula: EWMA Chronic Load - EWMA Acute Load - AL/CL EWMA: Ratio between the acute and chronic workload with more weighting on the more recent workload undertaken by the athlete.
Formulas:- PlayerEWMA_AL = Session Value * Lambda_AcuteLoad + (1- Lambda_Acute Load) * Value EWMA_AcuteLoad of previous day
- EWMA_CL = Session Value * Lambda_Chronic Load + (1- Lambda_Chronic Load) * Value EWMA_Chronic Load of previous day
- Lambda_AL = 0.25
- Lambda_CL = 0.06896
- EWMA = PlayerEWMA_AL / PlayerEWMA_CL
In Session analysis, the user can display such metrics ONLY for the DEFAULT METRICS (the ones with the *), by following the steps below:
- Access Session Analysis - Session - Team
- Select 1 Default Metric from the Metrics dropdown
- Select the desired Advanced Metric from the dropdown
- The stats will be displayed for all the selected players

Or:
- Access Session Analysis - Session - Individual
- Select 1 Default Metric from the Metrics dropdown
- The stats will be displayed in the box below the radar chart
