Monitoring training, performance and performance-related states in elite endurance athletes: A dynamic, idiographic, naturalistic approach
"This thesis examined the potential of dynamic linear models (DLMs) to assist in understanding training-performance relationships in elite endurance athletes. It also examined the methods currently used for the planning and modelling of training for peak performance and their limitations. Based on the review of literature, the context of this thesis was to examine how DLMs could potentially be used to enhance the understanding of the relationships between physical training, performance-related states and performance in individual elite endurance athletes and thereby assist in the planning of their training"--Abstract.
