Pickleball

Four hours on court is training.

Stop-and-go sport wrecks whole-session averages — the rests between games drag your heart rate down until a hard afternoon looks like a walk. Helios scores the session on effort, not on the average.

35cited pickleball workouts and 4 plans, scored as Session-RPE.

What your coach sees

What a pickleball coach needs. Exactly.

Effort-scored, not average-scored

Rate the session and its load is your rating times the minutes, so three hours of competitive doubles doesn't get filed next to an easy spin because the rests between games pulled the average down.

Thirty-one drills and four programmes

Dinking, third-shot, transition-zone and reset work, plus conditioning built for the movement pattern the sport actually asks for — sourced from a cited dossier, not padded out with variants.

It arrives on its own

Strava's Pickleball activity type maps straight into Helios, so court time lands in your week without you logging it twice.

No invented numbers.

Load is session-RPE — your effort rating times the minutes — kept on its own channel, separate from endurance training stress and never converted into a TSS you didn't earn.
