Fig 1.
No between week differences in training duration (mins).
(a), sRPE (b), monotony (c), strain (d) or total fatigue score (e) (all AU unless stated). Black dots represent individual participants. Error bars = SD.
Fig 2.
Between and within week comparisons of perceived body region soreness (AU).
See accompanying text for statistical comparisons between regions. Error bars = SD.
Fig 3.
Plots A-E: Between week comparisons of training load variables and fatigue score split by bout and no bout. B = weeks before/after bout; * between weeks and between groups differences; ** between weeks differences only, Error bars = 95% credible intervals. Plot 3F: comparison of between weeks monotony between groups, Median [10–90%].
Fig 4.
Within week training duration (mins) comparisons.
Black dots represent individual participants. Error bars = SD.
Fig 5.
Within week sRPE (AU) comparisons.
Black dots represent individual participants. Error bars = SD.

Category duration (mins) and segmented sessional RPE (AU) per week and mean per session.
Fig 6.
A) Median [10–90%] rating of perceived exertion per category (AU); B) Mean time spent in each intensity zone per MMA training category (mins), Error bars = SD; C) Percentage of total time spent in each intensity zone per MMA training category. 6a. Dots show outliers in each category; + = category mean. 6b. a = decisive post-hoc differences between low and high intensity; b = moderate post-hoc differences between moderate and high intensity; c = very strong post-hoc differences between low and moderate intensity; d = moderate post-hoc differences between low and high intensity; e = strong post-hoc differences between low and high intensity.
