This tool evaluates the balance between your training stress and your recovery. By comparing your training volume and intensity against your sleep duration, we can estimate your recovery load score.
Your calculated Recovery Load Score:
4
Based on your 5 hours of training and average RPE of 7, your current sleep duration of 8 hours results in the score shown above.
The Muscle Recovery Load is a quantitative metric used by athletes to balance the total stress of physical activity against restorative rest. It helps determine if your current training volume is sustainable given your recovery habits.
Recovery Load Score = (Training Volume [hours] × Training Intensity [1-10]) / Average Sleep [hours]
Understanding the score is easier when you see it applied to a standard weekly routine. Higher scores indicate a greater physiological 'debt' that must be repaid through extra rest or lower intensity in the following cycle.
