Abstract

The same training stimulus can provide different physiological adaptations for athletes of the same team. The aim of this study was to compare training and game loads in young male basketball players. Data were obtained from 4 training sessions and one game session using Polar Team Pro equipment. Physiological data (HR) were used to monitor internal responses through Edwards' TRIMP, and data on distance traveled by the player on the court (External Training Load). To observe differences between eTRIMP, HR max and distance traveled, the T-Test was used for paired samples. The mean internal training load, according to Edwards' TRIMP, for the four training sessions was 132 ± 69. Mean HR max and distance traveled values were 143 ± 67 and 2.273 ± 1170, respectively. Regarding game load, Edwards' TRIMP, maximum HR and distance traveled were 108 ± 33, 199 ± 4 and 2.240 ± 617, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between the mean values of training sessions compared to the game session in relation to the Edwards’ TRIMP measures and distance traveled, but HR max was significantly higher during the game compared to training. It was concluded that the loads applied during training are similar to those applied in the game.
