The maximum heart rate was assessed during a maximal incremental endurance test (Course Navette). Thereafter each participant performed a high-intensity functional training session (Workout of the Day-Pukie), while wearing a heart rate monitor, and the perceived effort was assessed with the 0-10 point scale at 0-min, 10-min, 20-min, and 30-min. Thereafter the Edwards index was calculated. The perceived effort was positively correlated with the heart rate and the Edwards index during the different time-points analyzed (Spearman r = 0,76-0,88; p<0,01). In conclusion, perceived effort can be used as a low-cost and logistically convenient method to assess the internal load experienced by physically active participants during a high-intensity functional training session.enexerciseexercise testPhysical conditioningSoccerElitesFootballHigh-intensity functional training and quantification by Perceived Exertion Scale in physically active subjectsEntrenamiento funcional de alta intensidad y su cuantificación por Escala de Esfuerzo Percibido en sujetos físicamente activosArtículoAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)10.12800/ccd.v17i51.1425
