Supports interchangeable use of TRIMP or TL for load monitoring in young Taekwondo athletes; leaves open generalizability to other sports or elite cohorts.
Observational (n=10)
Does Banister's TRIMP correlate with Edwards' TL for assessing internal training load in male Taekwondo athletes?
Effect estimate: r = 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.91)
p-value: p=<0.05
Banister's TRIMP and Edwards' TL are strongly correlated and interchangeable for quantifying training load in Taekwondo athletes.
Haddad et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Healthy (Taekwondo athletes) (n=10). Banister's TRIMP vs. Edwards' TL was evaluated on Convergent validity between Banister's TRIMP and Edwards' TL (r = 0.89, 95% CI 0.86-0.91, p=<0.05). Banister's TRIMP and Edwards' TL were strongly correlated for quantifying training load in young Taekwondo athletes (r = 0.89; 95% CI 0.86-0.91; p<0.05), indicating they are interchangeable.
