Focus on wearable measurements under most circumstances, as they are directly captured by the wearable's sensors, while estimates are attempts to derive something that cannot be measured with the sensors available on the wearable device. Recognize that both measurements and estimates can have larger errors in certain contexts, as when there is movement. Focus on wearable physiological responses as opposed to made-up scores combining physiology and behavior. The emphasis should be on the body's physiological response rather than penalizing scores for changes in behavior or external factors. Behavior and external factors remain key as context. There is no objective quantification or reference system for many made-up scores. There's no objective way to quantify metrics like sleep quality, readiness, recovery or stress, and wearables may oversimplify physiological responses, lacking necessary context. Dr. Altini reviews how to establish a plan including interpreting wearable data and using measurements (e.g., resting physiology) to capture responses to the plan, while making adjustments and not relying solely on made-up scores.

Physically demanding occupations (PDO) require high levels of energy expenditure and technical skill to complete day-to-day tasks and training. Workers in PDO are at a greater risk for heat strain/illness compared to other occupations worldwide. While research for nutrition requirements for PDO is somewhat limited, there is evidence that the current daily caloric intake habits of some workers may only account for half of their daily energy expenditure. The authors review the physiological and metabolic demands of the tasks encompassed in PDO and the current guidelines for proper hydration and nutrition for these various professions.

Athlete monitoring can be used to gauge and elevate players’ responses to training to help the maintenance of maximal performance and minimize injury and/or illness risk. There are many tools for both internal and external load monitoring, however little research has been performed within the context of American football. Given that American football is a team sport made up of different positions requiring unique skillsets and game demands, the individualization of monitoring tools and/or techniques is critical. Data analysis and interpretation needs context, both in terms of training phase (e.g., preseason vs. in-season) and in determining meaningful changes in selected monitoring tools. The authors review different parameters associated with external and internal load assessments in football and tools on how to monitor the player’s recovery with the aim of optimizing both their health and performance.
