We investigate if there are agreement and differences between the training intensity and load prescribed by the coach and those perceived by Amputee Soccer (AS) players. Eleven AS players and the team coach participated in the study. Before each session, we registered the coach Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) intended (not disclosed to the players). Immediately after the training session, the players responded to the same version of RPE individually. The load was quantified through the session-RPE (s-RPE) (RPE x minutes). In sessions 1 and 2, the coach overestimated the training RPE (p < 0.05; Effect size [ES] = 0.2 and 0.3), whereas in sessions 4 and 5 the values were underestimated (p < 0.05; ES = 0.3). In the case of s-RPE, the overestimation of RPE occurred in session 1 (p = 0.02; ES = 0.9), whereas in sessions 4 and 5 (p < 0.05; ES = 1.8 and 0.9) the coach underestimated the load values. We conclude that the training load planned by the coach is different and disagrees with the perception of the AS players in most of the training sessions.
