Sažetak

In recent years, stress tests have emerged as one of the best ways to assess fitness and health of athletes. However, there is some controversy as to their ability to replicate the actual physiological needs generated during competition. The aim of the study was to compare the levels of various physiological variables measured during laboratory stress tests with those observed during competition. Heart rate, blood lactate, blood pressure, rate of perceived effort and stress level were analysed in ten amateur male basketball players, during three maximal laboratory tests (TREADMILL, CYCLE and Wingate test), and in five official competition games. The level of significance for the study was set at p≤.05. Statistically significant differences between the physiological needs of competitive matches and those of stress tests were reported (p<.05). Furthermore, the time during which a higher HR was recorded during the competition compared to the HR obtained during the stress tests was calculated. This time was 12.36 ± 9.21% of the Live Time (LT) on TREADMILL, 35.04 ± 11.78% of the LT on CYCLE and 63.75 ± 11.57% of the LT on Wingate. The results suggest that laboratory stress tests do not reproduce the physiological requirements of amateur basketball players during competition.
