In the off-season, the primary goal is to push cognitive limits. With higher cognitive loads, it’s normal to see large fluctuations in Minute-on-Minute data.

In this example, reaction time fluctuates significantly over a 10-minute period. The pronounced peaks and valleys indicate cognitive strain, highlighting the challenge placed on the athlete.

Looking at the variation data, we see large swings, showing that the athlete struggles to maintain consistent performance. This inconsistency is a natural response to high cognitive load.

By monitoring these fluctuations, you can ensure the athlete is being sufficiently challenged during the off-season, avoiding underloading and maximizing their development.
