The aim was to assess the correlation between prescribed and experienced heart rate-derived training loads in elite female field hockey players over a 5-week period.
24 elite female field hockey players participated, monitored over 5 weeks.
Training loads were prescribed based on normative responses from hockey drills.
Magnitude-based inferences and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyze data.
A significant correlation was recorded (r = 0.92, 95% CI [0.84-0.96]).
Weekly differences varied, with week 1 showing a 2.0% difference (ES = 0.10), and week 2 a -5.4% difference (ES = -0.41).
Week 4 exhibited a 7.1% difference (ES = 0.46), indicating enhanced load achievement.
