Knowledge of internal load is essential to understand the effect of training and competition on athletes. The aim of this study was to analyse the validity of the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale as an indicator of intensity in amateur female basketball players during a relegation play-off. The heart rate and RPE of 10 players (age: 21.30 ± 2.71 years, weight: 68.84 ± 11.21 kg, body fat: 20.74 ± 3.51%) from a Copa Catalunya team while competing over a 10-day period were analysed. The mean heart rate of each match was registered with the Suunto Team Pack™ heart rate monitors. The RPE values were obtained once the match ended, completing the original Borg scale. The mean RPE ranged from 15.20 ± 2.39 to 18.00 ± 1.07 AU, whereas the mean heart rate (MHR) ranged from 132.35 ± 12.37 to 147.33 ± 10.61 bpm. There was also an improvement in the statistical correlation between the two variables as the days progressed. Regression equations were calculated for the total number of registered matches and the last five matches, obtaining the following regression equations: MHR = 6.23 × RPE20 + 36.8 ( = 0.56) for all games and MHR = 30.95 + 6.73 × RPE ( = 0.73) for the last five games. The results suggest that RPE could be seen as an indicator of intensity in amateur basketball players during a relegation play-off, improving their relationship with MHR as the weeks went by, which could suggest a learning process.
了解内部负荷对于理解训练和比赛对运动员的影响至关重要。本研究的目的是分析主观用力程度（RPE）量表作为降级附加赛期间业余女子篮球运动员强度指标的有效性。分析了来自加泰罗尼亚杯球队的10名球员（年龄：21.30±2.71岁，体重：68.84±11.21千克，体脂：20.74±3.51%）在为期10天的比赛中的心率和RPE。每场比赛的平均心率通过颂拓团队套装™心率监测器记录。比赛结束后获取RPE值，完成原始的博格量表。平均RPE范围为15.20±2.39至18.00±1.07任意单位（AU），而平均心率（MHR）范围为132.35±12.37至147.33±10.61次/分钟。随着时间的推移，这两个变量之间的统计相关性也有所改善。计算了注册比赛总数和最后五场比赛的回归方程，得到以下回归方程：所有比赛的MHR = 6.23×RPE20 + 36.8（r = 0.56），最后五场比赛的MHR = 30.95 + 6.73×RPE（r = 0.73）。结果表明，RPE可被视为降级附加赛期间业余篮球运动员强度的指标，随着时间的推移，其与MHR的关系有所改善，这可能表明存在一个学习过程。
