The Total Quality Recovery Scale (TQR) as a Proxy for Determining Athletes’ Recovery State after a Professional Soccer Match. JEPonline 2015;18(3):27-32. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the recovery state of 10 male athletes after an official professional soccer match. The Total Quality Recovery Scale (TQR) was used compare the athletes’ blood creatine kinase (CK) to their recovery state. The athletes (body mass 76.1 ± 7.9 kg; height 1.75 ± 7.0 m; age 26.6 ± 4.5 yrs old; BMI 21.66 ± 1.58 kg·m-2 ) had their Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE) rated 30 min after the match. CK and TQR were obtained 24 hrs thereafter. No significant associations were found between TQR and RPE (r = -0.56; P>0.05); and CK and RPE (r = 0.60; P>0.5). However, we did find a statistically significant association between TQR and CK (r = -0.75; P<0.05). Thus, the findings indicate that TQR could be used in the evaluation of professional soccer athletes to determine recovery state after an official game.
