Track both work stress and training stress, not only gym volume.
Common questions
-
How do you measure workload–recovery balance?
Combine training load, meeting density, sleep quality, HRV trends, and a weekly perceived stress score—not gym volume alone.
-
Can high fitness mask poor workload balance?
Yes. Strong fitness can hide cognitive overload until sleep, mood, or illness forces a stop.
