Load Score
Mathematical and physiological reference for Load Score, the per-effort training-load number computed from duration, Weighted Power, and Intensity, normalised so that one hour at threshold equals 100. Anchors the daily load input to Chronic and Acute Load EWMAs and is the sport-science-anchored summary of training stress per session.
