Abstract

Designing a training program involves managing certain terminology and concepts related to exercise science and health. All of this has been developed over the years and collected in the literature, leading to the use of specific terminology for that expertise area. At present, the breakthrough in the comprehension of variables that define the stimuli related to physical exercise as well as to the acute and chronic responses demand some reflection about some of these terms and concepts. The aim is to reach better understanding and to acquire a more specific and rigorous definition. In this chapter, we will address this issue. The aim will be to focus on control parameters of the training load in order to provide a more current perspective.
