Training load monitoring is a hot topic in sports science. But, what is the different between internal and external training load? Do we need to measure both with our athletes? In this video, I explain what both internal and external training load are, as well as the differences between them. I then discuss the need for both a multivariate and individualised approach with athlete load monitoring.
