Their preseason training schedule included several microcycles, each consisting of 3 consecutive days of intense training followed by a rest day. On 5 of these rest days, when players were classified as <jats:italic>nonrested<\/jats:italic>, and the 5 immediately following days, when players were classified as <jats:italic>rested<\/jats:italic>, players completed the SRSS between 8:00 and 9:00\u00a0AM, followed by blood sampling. Correlations between SRSS items were performed using Kendall <jats:italic>\u03c4<\/jats:italic>. The relationship between each SRSS item and CK levels over time was examined using a mixed-effects model with a random intercept. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic> CK levels and SRSS stress items were significantly higher and SRSS recovery items were significantly lower in nonrested players. SRSS items were significantly positively or negatively correlated (all items: <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and showed a significant effect indicating lower CK levels in rested players (all items: <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u2009.001; <jats:inline-formula\/>). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic> The investigated SRSS items may be a viable option for assessing muscle recovery in adult male professional handball players in a cost-effective and noninvasive manner.
