Cumulative Training Dose's Effects on Interrelationships Between Common Training-Load Models During Basketball
Training load (TL) responses in basketball vary with cumulative training dose. Different methods show limited agreement beyond 20 minutes, indicating dose-dependent interchangeability of internal and external TL measures.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Exercise Physiology
- Basketball Performance Analysis
Background:
- Understanding training load (TL) responses in basketball is crucial for athlete development.
- Limited research exists on how cumulative training dose influences TL and their interrelationships in basketball.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine temporal changes in training load responses during basketball activity.
- To investigate the influence of cumulative training dose on training load responses.
- To analyze interrelationships between various internal and external training load metrics.
Main Methods:
- Ten junior male basketball players performed 4x10-min simulated basketball bouts.
- Internal TL was measured using session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), summated heart-rate zones (SHRZ), and training impulse (TRIMP) models (Banister and Lucia).
- External TL was assessed via mean sprint and circuit speeds, with correlational analyses across cumulative doses (0-40 min).
Main Results:
- Session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE) TL increased after the first 10-min bout.
- sRPE TL correlated with Lucia TRIMP up to 20 min; sprint and circuit speeds correlated up to 20 min.
- Summated heart-rate zones (SHRZ) and Banister TRIMP showed significant correlations across all training doses.
Conclusions:
- Common training load (TL) approaches show limited convergence in basketball beyond 20 minutes.
- The interchangeability of internal and external TL measures is dose-dependent in basketball.
- Psychophysiological factors likely influence temporal changes in training load responses.
