Key result
TL HRV positively correlates with training impulse and perceived exertion during basketball drills.
Why the study?
This study aimed to investigate whether the heart rate variability index during five ball-drills could be used to quantify training load in collegiate basketball players.

Effect estimate: r = 0.34
p-value: p=0.015
TLHRV may serve as an objective and rational measure to monitor training load in basketball players, as it correlates well with established internal and external load metrics.
Jin et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Healthy athletes (Basketball training load) (n=10). Heart rate variability index (TL HRV) vs. TRIMP, RPE, speed, and distance was evaluated on Correlation between TL HRV and TRIMP (r = 0.34, p=0.015). The heart rate variability index (TL HRV) was significantly correlated with training impulse (r = 0.34, p = 0.015) and rating of perceived exertion (r = 0.42, p = 0.002) during basketball drills.
