abstract = {The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) analyze the variations in the physical fitness of
selected and non-selected under-20 male national futsal players; and (ii) analyze the variations in
training intensity monitored during training camps. Thirty-three Taiwan under-20 national futsal
players were monitored for training intensity during 18 training camps. They were divided into two
groups: selected (n = 14) and non-selected (n = 17) players. The physical assessments included the
following measures: body mass, distance covered at Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test Level 1, final
velocity at 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30-15 IFT), standing long jump, maximum heart rate (HR),
and 1-min sit-up. The training intensity was monitored using the rate of perceived exertion (RPE),
HR at different intensity zones, and locomotor demands measured at different speed thresholds.
The results revealed that the selected players were significantly faster in the 15-m sprint with ball (p = 0.001) and 30-m sprint (p = 0.001). Additionally, the selected players presented significantly
greater HRaverage and time spent above 90% maximum HR during the three-to-six-day training
camps (p < 0.05) compared to the non-selected players. Interestingly, the NS demonstrated a greater
number of sprints during the training camps (p = 0.001), while the selected players presented
greater distance/minute and average speed (p = 0.001). A regression analysis showed that the
distance/minute and average speed was a significant predictor of maximum HR in the selected
players. As conclusions, the physical fitness outcomes are different between the selected and nonselected
national futsal players. The selected players spent more time in high intensity HR demands
in training sessions.},
