Acronym Glossary In The Making

[Sillyoldtwit]

People often ask (including me) what certain acronyms stand for, so I thought it was about time someone produced a glossary. Before I post the final list under a different thread name, has anyone got an acronym to add to my list or any correction to make.
This will simply be a glossary and will not explain the terms. Cheers! Tyson

[daveryanwyoming]

Way to go Sly....

ATL = Acute Training Load
TSB = Training Stress Balance

 

[Sillyoldtwit]

Way to go Sly....

ATL = Acute Training Load
TSB = Training Stress Balance

Thanks for that Dave. Tyson

 

[NomadVW]

MMP - mean maximal power
NMP - Neuromuscular Power

change TTS to TSS

Would it be worthwile to include the L's?

L1
L2
L3
L4
L5
L6
L7.....

Lots of references to at least L4 through L6

Thanks for those Nomad. I thought about L1 etc. But what do we call them - simply Level 1 etc.?

 

[sugaken]

Hi Tyson,

How about these?

MLSS - Maximal (or Maximum) Lactate Steady State
QA - Quadrant Analysis
PP - Power Profile / Power Profiling
VI - Variability Index

Ken

 

[vadiver]

Thanks for those Nomad. I thought about L1 etc. But what do we call them - simply Level 1 etc.?

What about calling them what their purpose is and what % of maximum they are.

If you are doing this what about the conversioin to lbs to KG and KPH to MPH
1LBS = .45KG 1KG = 2.2lbs
1MPH=1.6KPH 1KPH=.62MPH

Ken

And thanks Ken for those, I definitely wouldn't have thought of them. Tyson

 

[frenchyge]

KK = Kurt Kinetic
20MP = 20 min MMP

and don't forget HRMax/RHR/LTHR....

Nice job Tyson.

 

[Sillyoldtwit]

Thanks a lot Ken, I certainly wouldn't have thought of those.

I think I'll leave it a bit longer in case anyone comes up with one we've forgotten.

1LBS = .45KG 1KG = 2.2lbs
1MPH=1.6KPH 1KPH=.62MPH

As I said, it is simply a glossary. People will have to work somethings out for themselves. I'm still pondering how to list L1 etc.

Nice job Tyson.

Cheers Frenchy, but I don't know what RHR stands for.

Don't bother I've got it.

 

[vadiver]

Cheers Frenchy, but I don't know what RHR stands for.

Resting Heart Rate?

 

[Sillyoldtwit]

Resting Heart Rate?

Cheers, I just found it in another thread.

 

[frenchyge]

I'm still pondering how to list L1 etc.

Maybe "L# or Z# = specified intensity level/zone from a training schema."

MAP = maximal aerobic power
pV02max = power @ VO2max

 

[Sillyoldtwit]

Thanks again Frenchy. Are we nearly there now do you think? I'll give it til Friday for any changes. Tyson

Is this only for cycling and training stuff. I have trouble with basic e-mail acronyms. Where can I find lol and imho and others?
