This is an interesting paper than creates a new training score called "Power Profile Index" or "PPI".
It weights activity stress based on the amount of time spent in each training zone. In the paper, 6 #cycling zones are modeled.
What's the most interesting to me is that it doesn't prioritize volume, but rather intensity. Things like time trials, elevation grades, flat easy efforts, etc. drive the score, not time in the saddle.
