=Power, Lactate, VO<sub>2</sub> Scaling=
While heart rate is generally the simplest and most effective way of calculating [[Training Impulse]] there are other approaches. For cyclists, it is possible to directly measure power output and to use this to calculate [[Training Impulse]]. However the [[Training Impulse]] values calculated from power cannot easily be translated for integration with other training methods. It is theoretically possible to calculate [[Training Impulse]] based on lactate levels or VO<sub>2</sub>, but in practice it is impractical to measure these well training.
=TRIMP<sup>norm</sup> Normalized Scaling=The range of TRIMP<sub>exp</sub> and TRIMP<sub>cr10</sub> are not the same. For each minute of exercise the TRIMP<sub>exp</sub> varies between 0 and 4.36 for men and between 0 and 3.4 for women, while TRIMP<sub>cr19</sub> varies between 1 and 10. However it is trivial to multiply TRIMP<sub>exp</sub> by 0.436 or 0.34 so that the values have similar ranges. This allows for different types of workout to use different schemes, with the results combined.
