Example data provided in supplementary material of Clarke & Skiba, 2013 paper, freely available on the publisher website. Data set contains cycling training load (i.e. dose) measured using the BikeScore metric (in AU) over 165 days, with occasional training response measured using 5-min Power Test (in Watts). Using Banister model implemented in Microsoft Excel, Clarke & Skiba, 2013 estimate the following parameters:

  • Intercept of 262 W

  • Gain of Positive Training Effect of 0.18 W/AU

  • Gain of Negative Training Effect of 0.23 W/AU

  • Time Constant of Positive Training Effect of 36 days

  • Time Constant of Negative Training Effect of 21 days

  • Sums of Square Error equal to 20.25 W

  • R Squared (Variance explained) of 0.979
