Introduction: The ability to accurately monitor training loads is an important aspect of athletic effectiveness and prevention of negative effects, such as performance loss. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare and correlate different methods for internal training load control for volleyball players. Methods: Fifteen male volleyball athletes between 18 and 30 years old who compete at state and national levels, participated in this study. Training load for each session was calculated using three different methods: RPE/Foster, HR zones (TRIMP) Edwards and Stagno. Results: It was observed that there are positive and significant correlations between the method proposed by Foster and Edwards and Stagno. However, the values of individual correlations RPE x Edwards (0.451 to 0.670), in general, were higher than RPE x Stagno (0.206 to 0.597). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the method proposed by Edwards, as well as the Foster's method, better reflect the training loads in volleyball, making it more reliable to control them than the method proposed by Stagno.
-The aim of this study was to evaluate the correspondence between perceived internal load of volleyball players of different positions with perceived internal load planned by the coach, as well as to compare the perceptions of internal training load between different positions in volleyball. The sample was composed of 15 professional volleyball players who were members of a 2012/2013 team in the Brazilian first division league. The athletes answered the Borg CR-10 scale after training, while the coach answered before the training, as was planned for this study. Data analysis was performed Kappa (K), one-way and two-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc using the statistical packages SPSS 19.0 and Statistica 8.0. The results indicated that all positions showed good agreement with the perception of the coach and no significant differences in perceptions of internal training load. However, when analysing the percentage of athletes' perceptions of intensity proposed by the coach, it was observed that athletes overestimate the sessions of easy training, while they underestimate the intensity of heavy training. The results indicate that there may be differences between the perceptions of coaches and athletes and reinforce the importance of adopting strategies for monitoring/control of daily training loads.
RESUMOEste estudo verificou o comportamento do estado de recuperação e dos níveis de rendimento em função das cargas externas e internas em atletas juvenis de natação. Participaram do estudo 17 atletas pertencentes a um clube de Minas Gerais. Para testar as diferenças entre as quatro semanas analisadas, entre o rendimento e entre os valores do RESTq, foi utilizada ANOVA para medidas repetidas e entre o estado de recuperação dos atletas nas duas fases, foi utilizado o teste t de Student para amostras pareadas. Utilizou-se o programa estatístico Statistica (versão 8.0) e nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que as variáveis de carga interna e de carga externa diminuíram da Fase da Transformação para a Fase de Polimento. Ao contrário, os níveis de recuperação aumentaram. Entretanto, o rendimento não se alterou entre as três competições e, durante a competição principal, não houve alteração significativa na relação recuperação-estresse do RESTq.

INTRODUÇÃOO conhecimento da sobrecarga interna da atividade competitiva é fundamental para maximizar o efeito das estratégias de treinamento, visando o incremento do desempenho (NUNES et al., 2011), sendo essencial uma quantificação precisa da carga aplicada, bem como o conhecimento das repostas do organismo do atleta em relação à mesma. Historicamente, o monitoramento das cargas de treinamento tem sido realizado a partir da carga externa, no qual treinadores utilizam parâmetros como duração total do treino, número de ações realizadas, duração dos intervalos de estímulo e recuperação ao longo da sessão, bem como número de séries, repetições e quantidade de peso levantado em quilos nas atividades resistidas . No entanto, o estímulo para as adaptações decorrentes do treinamento está diretamente relacionado ao estresse fisiológico imposto aos atletas, chamado de carga interna, que sofre influência não só da carga externa, como também dos níveis de
