Monitoring training load profile in high performance volleyball : a case study.

Analisar o perfil da carga de treinamento (CT) durante uma temporada de voleibol. Participaram 12 atletas masculinos (26,9 ? 4,6 anos) de uma equipe profissional. Foram analisadas 20 semanas, divididas em Per?odo Preparat?rio (PP), Per?odo Competitivo I (PC-I) e Per?odo Competitivo II (PC-II). O m?todo da Percep??o Subjetiva do Esfor?o da sess?o (PSE-S) foi usado para calcular a CT, a Monotonia e o Strain, bem como para comparar as semanas com diferentes n?meros de jogos e entre as cinco posi??es. A CT di?ria (CTD) foi significativamente maior no PP do que no PC-I e PC-II (625, 400 e 363 unidades arbitr?rias [UA], respectivamente), bem como a Monotonia e o Strain. A CT Semanal Total (CTST) foi significativamente menor na semana com dois jogos do que na semana com um jogo ou sem jogo (377, 500 e 622 U.A., respectivamente). Na compara??o por posi??o, os atletas da Ponta obtiveram a maior CT (515 UA). Em conclus?o, as maiores CT foram no PP, sem jogo e em atletas da posi??o de Ponta.Analyze the profile of the training load (TL) during a volleyball season. Participated12 male athletes (26.9 ? 4.6 years) from a professional team. Were analyzed 20 weeks, comprising the Preparatory Period (PP), Competitive Period I (CP-I) and Competitive Period II (CP-II). The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE Session) method was used to calculate the TL, Monotony and Strain, as well as to compare the weeks with different number of games and between the five positions. The daily TL (TLD) was significantly higher in PP than in CP-Iand CP-II (625, 400, and 363 A.U., respectively), as well as Monotony and Strain. The TL Total Weekly (TLTW) was significantly lower in the week with two games than in the week with onegame or no game (377, 500, and 622 A.U., respectively). In the comparison by position, the Hitter athletes obtained the highest TL (515 U.A.). In conclusion, the highest TL was in the PP,without game and in the athletes of Hitter position
