Ciencias de la Salud, Unai Azcárate Does weekly internal training load vary in professional soccer players? Mendeley Data Quantification of training load in professional soccer players have produced similar findings where team mean to weekly training load (w-TL) barely varies throughout the season. The aims of the present study were (a) to analyze respiratory and muscular weekly perceived exertion, and (b) to determine the variability during pre-season and in-season competitive period taking into account each player individually. Twenty-one professional soccer players belonging a 2nd Division soccer team participated in this study. Differentiated w-TL accumulated was quantified during 44-week of pre-season and season period (i.e., 6-week of pre-season and 38-week of season). The perceived level of exertion for leg local-muscular in weekly training load (w-TLmus) was higher (P < 0.05) than perceived exertion for central-respiratory in weekly training load (w-TLres) both for pre-competition and for competition period. Moreover, larger w-TL during pre-competitive period than competitive period in w-TLres and w-TLmus were shown. The intra-player variability showed higher values during pre-competition period (CV: from 30.4 to 75.4% and from 15.3 to 76.9%) than competitive period (CV: from 21.2 to 46.1% and from 22.1 to 44.2%) in both w-TLres and w-TLmus, respectively. The current study suggest that soccer players manage loads in a different way during pre-season and in-season periods.
