However, fatigue is not a unitary construct; it has objective (physiological) and perceived (experiential) aspects, which are not necessarily strongly related. The present study aimed to assess the association between coaches’ and athletes’ perception of fatigue and objectively assessed training load (TL). Participants were 61 elite players of five sport teams of two sports (basketball and football) and their coaches. Players’ and coaches’ perception of fatigue and objective data on TL provided by the Polar Team Pro system was obtained for 276 practice sessions overall. The association between coaches’ and athletes’ fatigue rating was .43 ( p < .001), between coaches’ fatigue rating and TL was .5 ( p < .001), and between athletes’ fatigue rating and TL was .45 ( p < .001). Linear regression with TL as the criterion variable and coaches’ and athletes’ fatigue rating as predictor variables explained 32.8% of the total variance. As the discordance between coaches’ estimation of fatigue, athletes’ perceived fatigue, and objective TL appears substantial, coaches should always take into consideration the latter two indicators. Future research with a translational focus is needed to help coaches to find an optimal balance among various indicators of fatigue in the determination of the load for the subsequent training sessions.

TI - Acute physical-activity related increases in interoceptive ability are not enhanced with simultaneous interoceptive attention JF - SCIENTIFIC REPORTS J2 - SCI REP VL - 12 PY - 2022 IS - 1 PG - 14 SN - 2045-2322 DO - 10.1038/s41598-022-19235-z UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33450162 ID - 33450162 AB - Interoception, the sense of the internal body, is proposed to support self-regulation, and consequently influence mental health. Researchers have therefore shown interest in improving the ability to accurately monitor internal signals (i.e., interoceptive accuracy, IAcc). Research suggests that cardiac IAcc is modifiable by both manipulations of interoceptive attention (guided attention towards the internal body), and interoceptive exposure (strategically inducing somatic signals e.g., via physical activity). Whilst successful in isolation, it is unclear whether a combined approach (i.e., directing attention towards the internal body when signals are more salient) could elicit greater benefits. In a 2 x 2 within-subject design, 48 healthy adults (M-age = 25.98 +/- 4.73 years, 50% female) completed four 20-min conditions varying in both attentional focus (interoceptive vs exteroceptive) and physical activity (active vs rest), with cardiac IAcc measured immediately after. Results revealed a main effect for physical activity (p < 0.001), however, there was no effect for attentional focus (p = 0.397), and no interaction effect (p = 0.797). Differential analyses showed that a higher sporting background increased sensitivity to physical activity-related increases in cardiac IAcc (p = 0.031). Findings indicate that (irrespective of attentional focus) moderate-vigorous physical activity-based interventions have the potential to increase cardiac IAcc, with certain individuals potentially benefiting more.
