Notes: Subjective perception of training intensity and volume (TL) in minutes, evaluated after court sessions (specific skills and physical capacities) and physical training (strength and jumping training). SPT evaluated initially (SPTI) and at the end (SPTF) of court sessions. Values are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean, P ≤ 0.05;
a
Significant correlation between variables.
Abbreviations: IL, interleukin; MWL, mean weekly load; SPT, subjective perception of tiredness; TL, total load; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; TWL, total weekly load; M1, pre-competitive period; M2, competitive I period; M3, competitive II period; URTI, upper respiratory tract infection.
