    Aim. This study aims to compare the perception of the intensity of the training load planned by a coach with the training intensity perception of youth swimmers. Methods. The subjects were 17 athletes with a mean age of 15.2±0.57 years, body mass 59.7±5.7 kg and height 170.1±6.3 cm. Every day before the training session, the coach answered the Ratio of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale for his workout planned for that day, and at the end of each session, the athletes answered the same scale. The training sessions were divided as proposed by Foster et al.,8 according to the desired intensity by the coach as follows:RPE<3, lightweight training; 3-5, moderate training; > 5, heavy training. The statistical program SPSS (version 19.0) and a significance level of 5% were used for all analyses. Results. The results indicate that, despite a team of young competitive swimmers who were presented with a consistent and carefully planned training program, there may be differences between the coach’s and athletes’ perceptions, especially in moderate intensity sessions and during tapering. Conclusion. These data reinforce the need for the careful monitoring/control of training loads in order to avoid major differences between these perceptions.

    Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the effects of a specific pre-season planning on physical performance, recovery-stress state, hormonal and muscle damage markers in high-level futsal players. Method: Fifteen male futsal players, members of a high level Brazilian futsal team participated in this study. Before and after four weeks of pre-season, blood samples were collected, the Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes was applied, and vertical jump tests and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 2 tests were performed. The Internal Training Load was measured in alltraining sessions. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the Total Weekly Training Load between different weeks. To compare the differences between pre- and post-training of all other dependent variables (except the Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes scales) the Student’s t-test and the magnitude based inference were used. Results: The futsal pre-season improved performance in the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 2 and Squat Jump tests. The improvement in performance tests was accompanied by an increase in testosterone, creatine kinase, testosterone/creatine kinase ratio and in the majority of the Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes scales. Cortisol and the social recovery and general well-being of Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes scales decreased during the futsal pre-season. Conclusions: In summary, players improved their performance in the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 2 and Squat Jump tests in response to a futsal pre-season. Furthermore, the Internal Training Load behavior of the futsal training promoted a favorable hormonal anabolic environment and did not promote a negative disturbance in creatine kinase or stress/recovery balance, suggesting that futsal players did not report fatigue accumulation after this pre-season design.

    Influência das cargas de treinamento sobre o rendimento e os níveis de recuperação em nadadores.
    (2015) Nogueira, Francine Caetano de Andrade; Nogueira, Ruan Alves; Dias, Bernardo Miloski; Cordeiro, André Henrique de Oliveira; Werneck, Francisco Zacaron; Bara Filho, Maurício Gattás
    Este estudo verificou o comportamento do estado de recuperação e dos níveis de rendimento em função das cargas externas e internas em atletas juvenis de natação. Participaram do estudo 17 atletas pertencentes a um clube de Minas Gerais. Para testar as diferenças entre as quatro semanas analisadas, entre o rendimento e entre os valores do RESTq, foi utilizada ANOVA para medidas repetidas e entre o estado de recuperação dos atletas nas duas fases, foi utilizado o teste t de Student para amostras pareadas. Utilizou-se o programa estatístico Statistica (versão 8.0) e nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que as variáveis de carga interna e de carga externa diminuíram da Fase da Transformação para a Fase de Polimento. Ao contrário, os níveis de recuperação aumentaram. Entretanto, o rendimento não se alterou entre as três competições e, durante a competição principal, não houve alteração significativa na relação recuperação-estresse do RESTq.

    Relationship between training volume and ratings of perceived exertion in swimmers.

    The markers of external training load (ETL), distance and intensity, do not take into account the athletes’ psychophysiological stress, i.e., internal training load (ITL). Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ETL and ITL using the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and session-RPE in swimmers. Seventeen young swimmers (10 male, 15.8 0.87 yr and 7 female, 15.1 0.46 yr) belonging to one national level youth team took part in this study over 4 wk. The external training load was planned using swimming distance (in meters) at seven different training intensities. Swimmers’ RPE was assessed 30 min after each training session. Session-RPE was calculated by multiplying RPE by session duration (min). The relationship between the variables was analyzed with Pearson correlations and a multiple linear regression was performed to predict the session-RPE as a function of the independent variables (aerobic and anaerobic volume). The swimming distance at different intensities correlated strongly with RPE and very largely with session-RPE (.64, p<.05 and .71, p<.05, respectively). Regression analysis indicated that the aerobic and anaerobic volumes together explained more than 50% of the ITL variability. In conclusion, the swimming distance in each training session was significantly associated with RPE and session-RPE in swimmers. In other words, based on these results, the use of high-volume training at lower intensities affects the RPE and Session-RPE more than the anaerobic volume.
