Exercise Load Entropy: A New Theory for Measuring Exercise Load

Determining and arranging the exercise load is one of the fundamental and core section in sports training program, and it is also the key technique in the integration of exercise and medicine. Through mathematical logic analysis and modeling, this study developed an original theory of exercise load entropy measurement, and 151 958 trials have been conducted under this system. Our results challenged the concept of the Just Noticeable Difference which was introduced by Weber in 1834. We found that the perception threshold of exercise stimuli is not a fixed value, and the Weber coefficient is not constant, it will be decrease accompany with the increase of loading. This study established a unified psychophysical measurement equation for exercise load, offering a new method for the individualized precise measurement of exercise load.
