<b>Session RPE and stress tolerance in young volleyball and basketball players</b>

Abstract

The present study investigated the effect of training load distribution on the perceivedsources and symptoms of stress during 6 weeks of sports training in young athletes. The sessionRPE method and the DALDA questionnaire were used to assess internal training load and stresstolerance. Twenty young men athletes participated in this study. Repeated measures ANOVArevealed higher training loads in the first and second weeks of training (p400 AU) (two-wayANOVA, p<0.05). The present findings support the hypothesis that the internal training load(session RPE) affects stress tolerance. These results emphasize the importance of regular trainingmonitoring in order to reduce the occurrence of deleterious adaptations and to optimize desiredadaptive responses.
