Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine ultra-short-term and short-term heart rate variability (HRV) in under-20 (U-20) national futsal players during pre-tournament training camps and an official tournament. Fourteen male U-20 national futsal players (age = 18.07 ± 0.73 yrs; height = 169.57 ± 8.40 cm; body weight = 64.51 ± 12.19 kg; body fat = 12.42% ± 3.18%) were recruited to participate in this study. Early morning 10 min resting HRV, Borg CR-10 scale session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), and general wellness questionnaire were used to evaluate autonomic function, training load, and recovery status, respectively. Log-transformed root mean square of successive normal-to-normal interval differences (LnRMSSD) was used to compare the first 30 s, first 1 min, first 2 min, first 3 min, and first 4 min with standard 5 min LnRMSSD. Mean (LnRMSSDmean) and coefficient of variation (LnRMSSDcv) of LnRMSSD were used to compare the different time segments of HRV analysis. The result of LnRMSSDmean showed nearly perfect reliability and relatively small bias in all comparisons. In contrast, LnRMSSDcv showed nearly perfect reliability and relatively small bias from 2-4 min time segments in all study periods. In conclusion, for accuracy of HRV measures, 30 s or 1 min ultra-short-term record of LnRMSSDmean and short-term record of LnRMSSDcv of at least 2 min during the training camps are recommended in U-20 national futsal players.
Highlights
Futsal is a high-intensity and competitive indoor sport [1]
U-20 male national futsal players when mean value of LnRMSSD was used. Another major finding in our study demonstrated that LnRMSSDcv had large bias and could potentially cause invalid and inaccurate measure if the record duration was less than 2 min during the training camps (ICC: lowest 0.55, highest 0.97; Bias: lowest −3.04, highest −0.60)
Our finding demonstrated that correlation analysis between training load (TL) and general wellness score showed trivial in the first training camp and was a negatively small correlation during the official tournament
Summary
Futsal is a high-intensity and competitive indoor sport [1]. This sport requires energy cost in mixed aerobic and anaerobic consumption, strenuous physical contacts, locomotion activities, and skill acquisitions [2]. The intensive nature of the futsal competition is extremely high and very often causes physiological and psychological stress to the players [3]. It has been reported that high-speed running H-1 ) is about 22.6% of the total covering distance. The average heart rate (HR) responses reach to 170-190 beats. Min–1 in Liga Nacional de Futbol Sala.
