• Key Concepts: 
  The acute chronic workload ratio is a metric used in the SAP Sports One component of IS-SE-SPS. It is used to measure the intensity of a training session by comparing the amount of work done in a single session to the amount of work done over a longer period of time. This ratio helps coaches and athletes understand how hard they are pushing themselves and how much rest they need in order to perform optimally.
  
  How to use it: 
  The acute chronic workload ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of work done in a single session by the amount of work done over a longer period of time. For example, if an athlete does 10 sets of squats in one session and has done 30 sets of squats over the past week, their acute chronic workload ratio would be 0.33 (10/30). This ratio can then be used to determine if an athlete is pushing themselves too hard or not hard enough.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the acute chronic workload ratio is just one metric and should not be used as the sole indicator of an athlete’s performance. Other factors such as rest, nutrition, and recovery should also be taken into consideration when evaluating an athlete’s performance. Additionally, it is important to note that this metric should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
