Negligible differences between TIZ and SG/TIZ support interchangeable research use; leaves open validation against performance outcomes before clinical adoption.
How do different methods of heart-rate-based training-intensity-distribution quantification compare in elite endurance athletes?
This study provides practical conversion factors across different methods of training-intensity-distribution quantification based on heart rate in elite athletes.
