The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased training volume during a 10-day training camp on competitive performance and internal training load (ITL). In addition, coach and swimmer rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for each session was compared.
Ten national level swimmers (gender: 4 males and 6 females; age: 15±1 years; height: 170.5±6.4 cm; body mass: 61.4±7.4 kg) participated in the training camp which involved a 36% increase in swimming volume. Competitive performance, as assessed using the FPS (FINA points system), was recorded pre and post-camp. ITL was recorded using the Session-RPE method and RESTQ-52 Sport questionnaire for each session and for day 1, 5 and 10 of the camp, respectively. Coach RPE was recorded after each training session for coach-swimmer RPE comparisons.
Competitive performance increased by 7.1% from pre-camp to post-camp (P=0.001, dz=1.6). Session-RPE increased between day 1 and all other days of the training camp (P<0.05), except day 6 (P=0.221). The injury scale of the RESTQ questionnaire increased from day 1 to day 5 (P=0.022). Across 16 swimming sessions, there was a strong correlation between coach and swimmer RPE (rs=0.76) however RPE was found to be higher for the swimmers than the coach (P≤0.0005) during moderate training sessions.
These findings suggest that a 36% increase in swimming volume during a 10 day training camp resulted in significant changes to competitive performance and ITL. However, coach and swimmer RPE should be monitored closely during future camps.
本研究旨在调查在为期10天的训练营中增加训练量对竞技表现和内部训练负荷（ITL）的影响。此外，还比较了教练和游泳运动员对每个训练课的主观用力程度（RPE）评分。
10名国家级游泳运动员（性别：4名男性和6名女性；年龄：15±1岁；身高：170.5±6.4厘米；体重：61.4±7.4千克）参加了训练营，游泳量增加了36%。使用FPS（国际泳联积分系统）评估竞技表现，在训练营前后进行记录。使用训练课RPE方法和RESTQ-52运动问卷分别记录每个训练课以及训练营第1天、第5天和第10天的ITL。每次训练课后记录教练RPE，用于教练与游泳运动员RPE的比较。
从训练营前到训练营后，竞技表现提高了7.1%（P = 0.001，dz = 1.6）。训练课RPE在第1天与训练营的所有其他天之间有所增加（P < 0.05），第6天除外（P = 0.221）。RESTQ问卷的损伤量表从第1天到第5天有所增加（P = 0.022）。在16次游泳训练课中，教练和游泳运动员的RPE之间存在强相关性（rs = 0.76），然而在中等强度训练课期间，发现游泳运动员的RPE高于教练（P≤0.0005）。
这些发现表明，在为期10天的训练营中游泳量增加36%会导致竞技表现和ITL发生显著变化。然而，在未来的训练营中应密切监测教练和游泳运动员的RPE。
