For the same training load, the impact of a cycling activity on your fatigue will be higher when you are well rested rather than already tired or even ill.
Therefore, if you set the « Pre-activity state » slider, the effort score used to calculate your fatigue will be increased by using SE* instead of SE.
You must indicate this parameter on a scale of 1 (well rested) to 10 (ill). Level 1 means that you are well rested at the start of your activity, while level 10 means that you are extremely tired or ill. With level 10, the training load will be virtually increased by 30% to calculate your fatigue.
- Intensity 1-2: well rested
- Intensity 3-5: light to medium fatigue
- Intensity 6-7: increased fatigue, heavy cold, minor illness.
- Intensity 8-9: very tired or sick
- Intensity 10: very ill, better to stay at home.
