This study investigated the relationship between subjective and objective workload indicators used to quantify physical activity during various exercise intensity sessions. Each session consisted of low, moderate, and high intensity physical activity. Participants were 12 male recreational basketball players: age = 24.5 +/- 2.1 years, height = 69 +/- 3.0 inches, weight = 175.5 +/- 23.7 pounds, Body Mass Index = 25.8 +/- 2.2 kg·m -2. Participants' physical and physiological workloads were monitored over a total of 28 sessions using an integrated athlete tracking system measuring movements (Mechanical Load) and Cardiovascular Response Training Impulse (CVR TRIMP). During and after each session, participants' perceived exertion (RPE) was assessed using the Borg CR-10 scale. The results from this study showed most significant relationships between Mechanical Load and CRV TRIMP during low, moderate, and high intensities, CRV TRIMP and RPE at low intensities. |
