Abstract
Kentta and Hassmen (1998) introduced a model to describe the process of training. They stated that there needs to be a balance between physiological stress and recovery and between psychosocial stress and recovery in order to improve performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between physiological and psychosocial stress and recovery. In order to do this, 24 elite middle- and long distance runners were monitored during 21 weeks of regular training. The athletes filled in a daily training log in which duration, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Total Quality of Recovery (TQR) scores of each training session were collected to determine physiological stress and recovery. The RESTQ-Sport was administered on a weekly basis to determine psychosocial stress and recovery. No relationship was found between physiological stress and physiological recovery. An increase in physiological stress was related to an increase in sport-specific stress and recovery but no relationship was found with total stress and total recovery. An increase in physiological recovery was related to an increase in psychosocial recovery and a decrease in psychosocial stress. The relationships found were in most cases low to moderate and differ per individual. In order to monitor all aspects of the stress recovery balance on an individual level, different physiological and psychosocial measures should be used.
