Abstract

Quantifying and monitoring training load in athletes is crucial to ensure optimal competitive performance. In this case study, we assessed the relationship between training load and subjective fatigue in three intercollegiate soccer players (n=3) over the course of the pre-season period. We did not find meaningful relationships between training load and fatigue, limited by our sample size and the precision of our measures. However, there may be differences in mental and physical fatigue responses between individuals. Therefore, it may be important for coaches and practitioners to differentiate between physical and mental fatigue, while accounting for individual differences, when monitoring subjective training load.
