Assessing the Relationship and Convergent Validity of Player Load and Dynamic Stress Load in Basketball: A Multivariable Regression Analysis
Player Load and DSL are correlated but not interchangeable. Player Load correlates at least moderately with all external-load measures monitored, with total distance and step count being almost perfect. Although DSL is correlated well with impacts, step count, and jump count over 3 gravitational forces, it correlates to a lesser extent with all metrics. Finally, this study developed 2 multiple-regression models to explain the relative importance of external-load parameters.
