Table 4.
The averageratings of sleep, stress, fatigue, DOMS, Hooper index (HI) and total quality of recovery (TQR), throughout the weeks of moderate training (MT) and intensive training camp (TC) (values are mean ± SD; n = 15).
| MT | TC | Mean % Change | Effect Size (d) | Rating | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleep | 2.4 ± 0.3 | 3.8 ± 0.3 *** | +59.1 | 0.4 | Small |
| Stress | 2.5 ± 0.1 | 3.7 ±0.4 *** | +48.3 | 0.6 | Medium |
| Fatigue | 2.6 ± 0.2 | 3.9 ± 0.3 *** | +50.5 | 5.7 | Large |
| DOMS | 2.1 ± 0.1 | 3.8 ±0.2 *** | +86.0 | 10.8 | Large |
| HI | 9.5 ± 0.7 | 15.1 ± 0.8 *** | +58.7 | 7.5 | Large |
| TQR | 15.6 ± 0.9 | 11.9 ± 0.7 *** | −22.3 | 4.6 | Large |
*** p < 0.001. HI: Hooper index, DOMS: delayed-onset muscle soreness, TQR: total quality of recovery. Percent changes from MT to TC were calculated for each participant and the average is listed as mean % change. For all measures except TQR, a higher score is negatively associated with well-being.
