- Editorial: Load and wellness monitoring in sports: the relationship between different metricsPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João Paulo; González-Fernández, Francisco Tomás; Morgans, RylandEditorial on the Research Topic Load and wellness monitoring in sports: the relationship between different metrics
- Load monitoring and Its Relationship with Healthcare in SportsPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João PauloLoad monitoring consists of training/match demand quantification as well as wellness and readiness to maximize the likelihood of optimal athletic performance [1]. The literature divides load into two dimensions: internal and external. Internal load is associated with psychophysiological demands that can be objectively and subjectively measured (e.g., heart rate and rating of perceived exertion, respectively) [2,3]. External load is associated with mechanical/locomotor demands, usually collected by global positioning systems, global navigation satellite systems, local positioning systems, and inertial measurement units that belong to micro-electro-mechanical systems (which provide a combination of 3D accelerometers, 3D gyroscopes, and 3D magnetometers). Despite different technologies, they provide external load measures, such as distances covered at various running speeds, accelerations, decelerations, player load, and others

- Updating exercise testing strategies and exercise prescription protocolsPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João PauloThe current special issue provided and constitutes relevant information for fitness professional and exercise physiologists. At the same time, it showed meaningful findings about the online exercise testing procedures (see contributors 15 and 17). In addition, it was observed that there are still several research that uses only one type of exercise, despite the general guidelines of the ACSM recommend more that one type [1]. Furthermore, there is a recommendation for future research include behavior change theories in exercise intervention as suggested by the protocol of the contributor 2. Finally, the present special issue also reinforces more research on specific populations, with different ways to control intensity, more specialized tests, while including training periodization practices as well as behavior changes.
