Objectives. – The aim of the study was to analyze the behavior of the modified total quality recovery (TQR) scale during four microcycles of accumulation in volleyball players and its relationship with physiological markers as heart rate variability (HRV) and training impulse (TRIMP), as well as load perception by the session rating of perceived exertion (s-RPE), and perceived recovery-stress state using the RESTQ-Sport questionnaire. Equipment and methods. – Seven female players of a national volleyball team (age: 24.26 ± 3.37 years; weight: 71.63 ± 6.84 kg; height: 176.97 ± 8.04 cm; % fat: 32.64 ± 1.57%) were evaluated during a pre-competitive camp. HRV, TRIMP, TQR scale, and the s-RPE were assessed daily. While the RESTQ-Sport was applied at the beginning and at the end of the concentration camp. The Spearman correlation for all variables, as well as Friedman Test for HRV, TRIMP, TQR and S-RPE and Wilcoxon test for RESTQ-Sport were performed. Furthermore, the smallest worthwhile change (SWC) was applied to identify the magnitudes of change in the intra-subject data. Results. – The TQR scale showed significant correlations (p < .05) with HRV parameters (LnrMSSD and Stress Score), S-RPE and RESTQ-Sport dimensions. Conclusion. – The TQR scale shows to be sensitivity to microcycles of accumulation in female volleyball players. In addition, the study proves the TQR concurrent validity by correlating with different physiological and psychological parameters for monitoring load and recovery.
