Internal training load in wheelchair basketball athletes: athletes' perception versus technician's perception
Abstract
Introduction: Controlling training loads is a crucial component to increase athlete and team performance. Therefore, the loads perceived by the athletes must be similar to the load planned by the coach. Objective: to analyze the internal training load responses among athletes of wheelchair basketball and verify the load intended by the coach and perceived by the athletes. Material and Methods: Seven athletes from a recreational wheelchair basketball team in Brazil were analyzed. The internal training load was evaluated in four training sessions (two light and two moderate) by multiplying the subjective perception of effort of the session by the duration of the session. The subjective perception exertion was analyzed by the Borg CR-10 scale, completed by the athletes 30min after the training sessions and by the coach before the training sessions. Results: In all sessions, the athletes perceived the intensity differently among them (example: athlete 1). The sessions characterized as the light intensity showed greater similarity between the load intended by the coach and the one perceived by the athletes, while the moderate sessions showed a greater discrepancy. Conclusion: It is concluded that training intensity can be perceived differently among athletes of a wheelchair basketball team. Training sessions with moderate loads tend to present a greater variation, underestimated for some and overrated for others. Thus, continuous adjustments in training planning must be made to enhance the performance of the team as a whole.
