Seventeen male master water polo players (age: 50 ± 12 years) performed 19 ± 7 sessions and reported Hooper-Index scores in the morning of training day, and RPE (CR-10) and rate of enjoyment after sessions. Linear mixed effects models were applied to quantify whether players’ RPE, session-RPE, and rate of enjoyment were: (i) different for type of training session, (ii) affected by pre-session well-being, and (iii) correlated to corresponding coach’s estimations. FM was the training type with the highest session-RPE (p
