Abstract
A method of determining a user'"'"'s training load, includes determining protein combustion information and determining the user'"'"'s training load based on the protein combustion information. The protein combustion information may be determined using heart rate information, activity information, carbohydrate reserve information determined using a carbohydrate combustion model and carbohydrate reserve information representing the user'"'"'s carbohydrate reserves at a beginning of at least one exercise session, fitness information, intensity information, nutritional intake information representing nutritional intake during at least one exercise session, and/or a fat combustion model. The user'"'"'s training load may be determined based on a mechanical stimulus and/or a modality. Recovery time information may be determined based on the training load. A corresponding apparatus and computer-readable medium correspond to the above method.
