May support HRV monitoring for fatigue in female soccer; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation.
Observational (n=8)
Effect estimate: r = -0.85
Tracking individual heart rate variability and wellness responses can help monitor fatigue and guide training load adjustments in high-level female soccer players.
Flatt et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Preseason training in female soccer players (n=8). Preseason training was evaluated on Changes in training load (TL) and heart rate variability (lnRMSSD) (r = -0.85). Changes in training load correlated strongly with changes in heart rate variability (lnRMSSD) among female soccer players during preseason training (r = -0.85).
