Expert commentary clarifies the theoretical framework of internal and external training loads in athletes, highlighting improved precision for individualized exercise prescription.

Key Points

To clarify, refine, and extend the theoretical framework and definitions of internal and external training load to avoid misinterpretation in athletic training and sports science.
Conceptual review and refinement of the training process model originally introduced in 2003.
Theoretical framework analysis categorizing athletic training stimuli into measurable external work parameters and internal psychophysiological responses.
Defines external training load as the physical work performed by an athlete and internal training load as the corresponding psychophysiological stress response.
Demonstrates that monitoring both dimensions is essential for accurately controlling training stress to elicit targeted cellular adaptations while minimizing injury risk.
