Abbreviations and definitions
| Name | Description | Used on site |
|---|---|---|
| Critical power | Critical power (CP) is a concept based on the hyperbolic relationship between power output and the time that the power output can be sustained. The relationship can be described based on the results of a series of timed all-out predicting trials. | |
| Fatigue-Curve |
This calculation is based on the relation of the neural imput to the muscle-cells from 0% to 100%. This creates an increase in [Ca]2+ making the muscle contract. Due to the state of the 3 types of fatigue, a different amount of power in (VO2tot) can be produced.

| Metabolism | Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within each cell of a living organism and that provide energy for vital processes and for synthesizing new organic material. It includes all the processes by which the body converts food into energy and uses this energy to sustain life, grow, and function. | |
| Model | A model is a representation of something, often on a smaller scale than the original. It can also refer to a simplified description or system used to assist calculations and predictions. A model can also be an example for imitation or emulation. | |
| Performance Indicators | Performance indicators are variables that are used to determine the limitations of an individual's performance. In the TREFf model, we use 7 performance indicators to calculate these limitations. | |
| Tmax | This is the ability to accelerate. | |
| TREFF | Trainings Effect | |
| Vmax | This is the maximum power. | |
| Wingate test | The Wingate Test is a fitness test that measures an individual's anaerobic capacity and power outputs. It was developed in the 1970s at the Wingate Institute in Israel and is commonly performed on a cycle ergometer. The test requires the participant to cycle at maximal effort for 30 seconds. |
