It measures energy while throwing out the swimmer specific variables. Think of it as calories without the swimmer specific multiplier and that multiplier is what makes inefficient swimmers burn more calories than efficient swimmers.
My idea behind points was just a substitute to GTD that had similar reward for fast sets with more rest as the short rest sets that churn out more distance. It is not a substitute for intelligent coaching.
I understand. This compares energy used during the actual swim portion of the workout and adjusts the energy used based on you speed in the sets. I assume from your examples that if you maintained 1:01's on 10 100s on a 3 minute interval, you would gain the same amount of energy points as if you had a 2 minute or even 1:10 interval - the difference would be that you had less time for the rest of your workout?
I think it is an interesting concept.
