Abstract

Purpose:

This study aims to investigate the association between the rating of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR) and the blood lactate concentration ([La]) in successive judo fight simulations (randori).

Methods:

Ten athletes participated in the study (age: 25.62.1 years; stature: 1.750.07 m; body mass: 75.614.9kg; %BF: 11.57.8%; practice: 14.56.2 years) and completed 4 judo fight simulations (T1 to T4) with duration of 5 min separated by 5 min passive recovery periods. Before each randori, [La] and HR were collected, and after each randori, the same measures and the RPE (CR-10 scale) were collected.

Results:

Significant correlations were observed between: (1) CR-10 and HR (T2: r =0.70; T3: r =0.64; both, P<0.05); (2) ?CR-10 and ?[La] (T1-T2: r = .71, P< 0.05; T2-T3: r =0.92, P<0.01; T3-T4: r =0.73, P<0.05). Moreover, significant differences were noted in the behavior of the HR between the 2nd (T2) and 3rd (T3) judo fight simulations (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

The use of CR-10 in the evaluation process, as well as in deciding the load of training in judo, should be done with caution.
