This study investigated the relationships between subjective and objective indicators of training load in female handball players. Twelve female handball players (age: 20.1 ± 1.2 years, height: 164.3 ± 4.2 cm, and weight: 61.8 ± 4.1 kg) belonging to the first division of a university league were included in the study. The training load was investigated over a nine-week period of the competition phase. The subjective load indicator was the session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), and the objective load indicators were total distance, Player Load™, and heart rate-based training load (HRTL). We observed 20.5 ± 2.3 sessions for each player. The sRPE demonstrated significant relationships (p < 0.05) with all objective load indicators, with correlation coefficients r = 0.73 ± 0.09, 0.73 ± 0.08, and 0.75 ± 0.10 for total distance, Player Load™, and HRTL, respectively. All the relationships were very strong (0.7 < r < 0.9). These results reveal the potential validity of sRPE use in handball and suggest that the sRPE is an indicator that reflects the characteristics of both biomechanical and physiological load indicators.
