Interpreting The Triton Score
Triton Score ranks performance in 3 key areas for each workout and lets you know:
- how well you...
TritonWear uses AI to create a profile on your past training trends. Readiness Score is calculated for every workout using load monitoring principles. The score gives an overview of your body’s Readiness to train. In addition, we track load change over time and give your training status and injury risk to assess your Readiness.
Keeping your body well recovered and ready to train will positively influence your rate of perceived exertion. If you don’t support your body’s recovery, you’ll feel sore, and workouts will feel a lot harder to tackle. In addition, as mentioned above, the RPE measurement is part of your injury risk and status calculations and can directly impact Readiness.
1. Training Habits. The best thing you can do to get your body ready to train is adopt habits that support recovery and injury prevention.2. Sleep. Aim for good quality and quantity of sleep. Sleep can help maximize muscle growth and improve performance. In addition, many essential bodily functions happen during sleep, including storing blood glucose as muscle glycogen and producing the human growth hormone to support muscle growth and recovery.
3. Nutrition. Nutrition is equally valuable for performance as much as recovery. Failure to replenish fluids and fuel your body can quickly result in sore muscles, fatigue and underperformance.
How to use food for recovery? First off, stay hydrated during practice. Water flushes toxins out of the body, transports nutrients and helps with recovery. Then, within 30 minutes post-activity, eat to refuel your body. A few good choices for post-workout snacks are banana, nuts, or a protein-fueled drink. Nutritional recovery can help with your body’s Readiness for the following practice and between races.
Your Readiness score ranges from 0-100.
If your score is hitting 90 or higher, you are increasing training at an optimal rate. The goal is to keep the Readiness Score between 90-100, where you are maximizing improvement while staying ‘Safe.’
Tracking all your workouts will help keep you accountable for your training goals. Your Readiness, along with your nutrition, sleep, and emotional state, will mean you have all the information you need to establish patterns and modify your training. Interpreting how each score interacts with one another and impacts your Triton Score will offer insights to drive your focus and direction. Lastly, tracking Readiness will help keep you on track with the right workload increase to improve performance and minimize the risk of injury.
