Overtraining Prevention: Heart Rate vs. Stair Test?

    A recent article in Trax (Marty Hall?) mentioned using "Rusko's Test" for overtraining--it's something like measuring heart-rate over a number of minutes as you go from lying down to standing, etc.

    Just curious if anyone has experience using heart rate tests like this vs. old-school "Stairs Test" (how fatigued you feel walking up.) (And evidently, simple resting heart-rate is no longer considered accurate for overtraining)

    Thanks,

    Jon
