For that, the variations in training load and wellness were measured, as well as their relationship. Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The study followed a retrospective cohort design. For all field training sessions, the volume, exercise structure, and area of play were identified. Player load, session rating of perceived exertion\u00a0(sRPE), and wellness were collected. Descriptive statistics and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests were used for comparison purposes. A visualization method was used for load and well-being. Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> No significant differences were observed in the number of training sessions, session duration, and player load between preparation and competitive periods. sRPE showed significantly higher values in preparation than in competition periods (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05, d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.86) and significant differences between weeks (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05, d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091.08). Wellness showed a general statistical difference between periods (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.001, d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091.28) and weeks (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05, d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091.17). The correlation analysis for the overall period revealed a general linear relationship within variables of training load and wellness (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.001). Variations occurred for preparation and competition periods. The visualization method through quadrant plots allowed us to understand the adaptation of the team and the players over the specific period under analysis. Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Through this study, it was possible to better understand the training program and monitoring strategies of a high-performance futsal team over a high-level tournament.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2022-0414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]],"date-time":"2023-04-13T12:43:51Z","timestamp":1681389831000},"page":"590-602","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Road to Becoming a World Champion in Futsal"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2165-2687","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bruno","family":"Travassos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health and Human Development (CIDESD), Portugal"},{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Braz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 L.","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Palas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Silv\u00e9rio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1301-1078","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Brito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portugal Football School, Portuguese Football Federation, Oeiras, Portugal"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"Front Psychol","article-title":"Physical and physiological match-play demands and player characteristics in futsal: a systematic review","volume":"11","author":"Spyrou K","year":"2020","unstructured":"Spyrou K, Freitas TT, Mar\u00edn-Cascales E, Alcaraz PE.
