Thankyou

So whilst there's likely a correlation between high ATL/low TSB from cycling/running and sore legs, it's not what the PMC is really highlighting.

Muscle damage from strength training isn't really a metabolic cost so doesn't fit within the TSS paradigm.

Getting a bit off track here, but there is a difference between the model structure (i.e., the PMC) and the input function (i.e., TSS).

The former would probably work just fine at predicting performance/function if all you fed into it was data from strength training sessions. In fact, Banister's impulse-response model has previously been used in weight lifters to predict changes in hormone levels, and the strength and conditioning world is going a bit ga-ga right now over the use of CTL and ATL to predict injury risk in team sports.

As you say above, though, TSS was designed with primarily the metabolic costs of cycling in mind, so doesn't directly apply to strength training, and mixing-and-matching in particular is a bad idea.
