Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance and monitor the internal training load (ITL) and stress tolerance (ST) of sprinters during the general preparatory training period. Six 100 and 400 m male sprinters performed tests before and after four weeks of training: vertical jump test, horizontal jump test, Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) and performance of 100 and 400m on an official athletics track. After each training session, the ITLs were monitored by the method of subjective perception of effort of the session (PSEsession) and the ST was evaluated weekly by Daily Analysis of Life Demands in Athletes (DALDA). A significant improvement in horizontal jump performance was observed after the training period. Furthermore, there was an increase of 3.1±5.6 % in the minimum anaerobic power (PAnmín) and a reduction of -15.9±18 % and -12.9±13.6 %, respectively in the absolute fatigue index and in the relative fatigue index obtained by RAST. The ITL showed a significant difference in week 1 compared to other weeks; for the DALDA scores, no significant differences were observed. Therefore, it is concluded that the general preparatory phase led to a significant improvement in the horizontal jump test and had a positive impact on the reduction of the fatigue indexes of the RAST test. Furthermore, the CIT at week 1 was significantly higher when compared to weeks 2 and 3 and the ST values were not different during the monitored weeks.
