How to use Sled Training Protocol
Sled push/pull training protocols by goal (strength, conditioning, acceleration) with load, distance, and rest guidance.
Choose measurements that describe your actual session or situation, confirm the units, then calculate. Read the result alongside its assumptions and use the tool again when your inputs change.
Inputs explained
Goal
Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Acceleration, Strength, Conditioning.
Sled type
Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Push, Pull, Drag.
Bodyweight (kg)
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 40) (maximum 150), using the unit indicated in the field label.
Surface
Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Turf, Grass, Concrete.
Experience
Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.
How to interpret the output
Follow the tool-specific testing protocol and review any unusual outcomes with a qualified professional.
Repeat measurements using similar conditions when monitoring trends. Numerical predictions can vary with input accuracy, measurement method and individual circumstances.
Limitations and responsible use
Sled training is generally safe but demanding. Start with lighter loads to learn technique before progressing.

What does the Sled Training Protocol estimate?
Sled push/pull training protocols by goal (strength, conditioning, acceleration) with load, distance, and rest guidance.
Which information do I need for this specialized tool?
Provide Goal, Sled type, Bodyweight (kg), Surface, Experience. Use your own relevant measurements and the units indicated in each field.
How should I interpret the result?
Follow the tool-specific testing protocol and review any unusual outcomes with a qualified professional. Compare results with your goals and other relevant observations rather than using a single output to make a major decision.
