Resum
This study compares and describes relationships among stress-recovery indices, the heart rate variability
index, and the Cooper and Yo-Yo IR1 tests among female soccer players during the last six weeks of the
competitive season. Sixteen female soccer players engaged in a pre-test of all of the variables. After having
their training monitored for six weeks, a post-test was administered. The results revealed significant (p <
0.05) differences in the specific stress-recovery scales of the RESTQ-sport and in the frequency-domain
variables of the HRV, although there were no significant differences in the general stress or general recovery
scales. The Yo-Yo IR1 test, the Cooper test scores, and the means of the time-domain HRV variables did not
exhibit any significant differences between the pre- and the post-test. The RMSSD variations exhibited very
large and large correlations with the performance test and the RESTQ-sport variables, respectively. The
variations in the HRV frequency-domain variables exhibited significant moderate and large correlations
among the variations of the RESTQ-sport scales. Monitoring athletes at the end of the season may reveal
contradictions between some variables. To help with the interpretation of these scales, some external
aspects, such as athlete strain and monotony of training, should be considered.
