Understanding this calculator

How to use Supercompensation Planner

Simulates fitness-fatigue cycles over a training block and predicts peak performance timing.

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.

Performance tools and digital training illustration

Inputs explained

Block type

Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Accumulation, Intensification, Realization.

Weeks in block

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 1) (maximum 12), using the unit indicated in the field label.

Training frequency (days/wk)

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 1) (maximum 7), using the unit indicated in the field label.

Intensity (% of max)

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 40) (maximum 100), using the unit indicated in the field label.

Volume level

Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Low, Moderate, High.

Recovery capacity (1-10)

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 1) (maximum 10), using the unit indicated in the field label.

Age

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 12) (maximum 100), using the unit indicated in the field label.

Training age (years)

Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 0) (maximum 40), using the unit indicated in the field label.

How to interpret the output

Record your recovery context consistently and compare trends with changes in training load, sleep and perceived fatigue.

Repeat measurements using similar conditions when monitoring trends. Numerical predictions can vary with input accuracy, measurement method and individual circumstances.

Limitations and responsible use

The fitness-fatigue model is a simplification. Real-world peaking depends on many individual factors not captured here.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Supercompensation Planner estimate?

Simulates fitness-fatigue cycles over a training block and predicts peak performance timing.

Which information do I need for this recovery tool?

Provide Block type, Weeks in block, Training frequency (days/wk), Intensity (% of max), Volume level, and any additional fields shown above. Use your own relevant measurements and the units indicated in each field.

How should I interpret the result?

Record your recovery context consistently and compare trends with changes in training load, sleep and perceived fatigue. Compare results with your goals and other relevant observations rather than using a single output to make a major decision.
