“…In support of this, peak and nadir JH occurred at similar time points in both groups (T4 and T5, respectively) with half of the team achieving peak JH two weeks after the initial overreach. These findings agree with the metaanalysis results from Bosquet and colleagues, 26 who demonstrated that peak endurance performance occurred after 2wks of tapering and diminished after 3wks of tapering. The athlete's competition schedule may also explain the timing of peak and nadir performance.…”

Purpose: To determine if jumping performance changes during a peaking phase differed between returners and new players in a female collegiate volleyball team and to determine which variables best explained the variation in performance changes. Methods: Fourteen volleyball players were divided into two groups: returners (n=7) and new players (n=7) who completed a 5-week peaking phase prior to conference championships. Players were tested at baseline prior to the pre-season on measures of vastus lateralis cross-sectional area using ultrasonography, estimated back squat one repetition maximum (1-RM), and countermovement jump height (JH) and relative peak power (PPa) on a force platform. Jumping performance, rating of perceived exertion training load, and sets played were recorded weekly during the peaking phase. Results: There were moderate to very large (p<0.01, Glass's Δ=1.74), and trivial to very large (p=0.07, Δ=1.09) differences in JH and PPa changes in favor of returners over new players during the peaking phase, respectively.Irrespective of group, 7 of 14 players achieved peak JH two weeks after the initial overreach. The number of sets played (r=0.78, p<0.01) and athlete's pre-season relative 1-RM (r=0. 54, p=0.05) were the strongest correlates of JH changes during the peaking phase. Conclusions: Returners achieved greater improvements in jumping performance during the peaking phase compared to new players, which may be explained by the returners' greater relative maximal strength, time spent competing, and training experience. Thus, volleyball and strength coaches should consider these factors when prescribing training during a peaking phase to ensure their players are prepared for important competitions.

“…The significant increase in training intensity and decrease in training volume from linear regression over the season showed the greatest difference in TL level between block 0 and blocks 5 and 6 (Table 5), especially during the play -off phase. Bosquet et al (2007) showed in their meta-analysis that the best tapering and peaking strategies involve an exponential decrease of 40-60% for volume training without modification of other training variables (intensity and frequency) during a 2 week period in individual sports. Comparatively, our findings showed a comparable strateg y being used for professional rugby back players during a play-off phase (block 6).…”

The aim of this study was to observe and quantify changes in training load (TL), running performance, lower body power and biochemical characteristics of professional rugby union back players over an entire season. Eight professional players (age: 25.8 ± 4.6 y) participated in this study. Session-RPE (S-RPE) and microtechnologies (GPS) were used for assessing training load (TL). During the season, running performance was monitored using the YoYo Recovery Test Level-2 (YYRT2) and lower body power performance using the drop jump (DJ) test. Changes in hematological, endocrine and muscle damage parameters were examined through 3 blood samples taken at separate times throughout the season. TL progressively and significantly (p < 0.001) decreased throughout the se ason particularly due to the decrease in the training volume. The last blood sample of the season revealed a significant (p < 0.001) increase in hematological parameters and a significant increase (p < 0.01) in cortisol blood concentration without change in the testosterone/cortisol ratio. No significant change in YYRT2 performance was observed over the season, while DJ test performance was significantly lower during the first 2 blocks of the season compared to other blocks. The training volume showed a significant negative correlation with DJ-test performances (TD: r = -0.49 and S-RPE: r = -0.40, p < 0.001). Although there was a decrease in training volume throughout the season, there was no significant changes in running performance. Furthermore, lower bod y power production showed a significant increase in particular during the last part of the season.

“…Nessa linha de pensamento, também tem sido dada atenção as estratégias com relação a manipulação das cargas de treinamento anteriormente as competições, sendo tal estratégia, comumente denominada de polimento ou taper [37][38][39] . Nessa referida estratégia, o volume de trabalho diminui de forma acentuada, porém a intensidade mantém-se em níveis elevados nas sessões que antecedem as competições, objetivando acentuar as adaptações ao treinamento sob as perspectivas: metabólicas, cardiorrespiratórias, bioquímicas, hormonais, neuromusculares, estado de humor, percepção do esforço, qualidade do sono e imunológicas; visando aperfeiçoar o desempenho esportivo [37][38][39] .…”

Artigo de revisãoReview ARticle ARtículo de Revisión RESUMOEntre atletas e treinadores, existe uma percepção comum de que altas cargas de treinamento e competições, aplicadas de forma crônica, com controle nutricional e/ou períodos de recuperação inadequados, podem reduzir a resistência imunológica, aumentando a predisposição aos episódios de infecções, principalmente infecções do trato respiratório superior (ITRS). Nesse sentido, o presente estudo está centrado em revisar as interações entre os parâmetros imunológicos com a síndrome do sobretreinamento, especificamente em esportes coletivos, considerando a sua natureza intermitente. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão de periódicos nacionais e internacionais relacionados com o tema. As correlações entre exercício, sistema imunológico e suscetibilidade às ITRS têm sido avaliadas principalmente em esportes individuais e de resistência em comparação aos coletivos. As modulações dos leucócitos ao longo da temporada, frente ao efeito somatório das cargas de treinamento e competições, quando analisadas especificamente quanto aos neutrófilos e monócitos, possivelmente se relacionam com os processos de reparo tecidual e incidência de ITRS. As modulações relacionadas com os linfócitos parecem estar relacionadas mais diretamente com a incidência das ITRS. Ademais, o entendimento de todos os marcadores propostos, incluindo os imunológicos em associação com os indicadores de desempenho e controle do treinamento, parece ser um caminho mais promissor para o diagnóstico clínico do estado imunológico do atleta e da prevenção da síndrome do sobretreinamento do que necessariamente a busca por um marcador exclusivo de excesso de treinamento.Descritores: alergia e imunologia; infecções respiratórias; exercício; medicina esportiva. ABSTRACT Among athletes and coaches, there is a common perception that high training loads and competitions, applied chronically, with inadequate nutritional control and/or recovery periods, may reduce the immune resistance, increasing susceptibility to infection episodes, mainly upper respiratory tract infection (URTI
