Purpose: To compare perceptual and physiological training-load responses during various basketball training modes. Methods: Eight semiprofessional male players (age 26.3 ± 6.7 y, height 188.1 6.2 cm, body mass 92.0 13.8 kg) were monitored across a 10-wk period in the preparatory phase of their plan. Player session ratings perceived exertion (sRPE) heart-rate (HR) gathered base, specific, tactical/game-play Pearson correlations used to determine relationships between sRPE model 2 HR-based models: impulse (TRIMP) summated HR zones (SHRZ). One-way ANOVAs loads modes for each model. Results: Stronger models evident base (sRPE-TRIMP r = .53, P < .05; sRPE-SHRZ .75, .05) conditioning .60, .63; than specific .38, .52; .05). Furthermore, detected greater increases (126–429 AU) load TRIMP (15–65 SHRZ (27–170 transitioning Conclusions: While significantly correlated mode, weaker observed conditioning. Comparisons suggest that less effective detecting periodized load, particularly court-based, intermittent, multidirectional drills. The practical benefits sensitivity support its use different
