Objective To describe how workload-related exposure variables have been defined in sports
injury articles, and to identify the number of workload-related exposure variables included in …

Background This article sets the scene for a critique of the research underpinning 2 common
clinical assumptions:(1) training workload is a key factor influencing sports injury risk, and …

Objectives To (1) identify the wearable devices and associated metrics used to monitor
workload and assess injury risk,(2) describe the situations in which workload was monitored …

Background The acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) is an index of the acute workload
relative to the cumulative chronic workloads. The monitoring of physical workloads using the …

Objectives: To investigate and evaluate the methodological variation in research on acute:
chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and injury in elite male football players. Methods: Relevant …

Background The relationship between training load and musculoskeletal injury is a rapidly
advancing area of research in need of an updated systematic review. Objective This …

Spikes in training and competition workloads, especially in undertrained athletes, increase
injury risk. 1 However, just as attributing athletic injuries to single risk factors is an …

We recently demonstrated associations between workload and injury. 1 2 Regrettably, in
these manuscripts, we used the words 'predict'and 'predictive'within the titles. Although we …

Sports injuries are a widespread problem at college and high school. In the United States
alone, 1.5 million high school and college athletes are injured every year (12, 18). The …

Training loads contribute to sports injury risk but their mitigation has rarely been considered
in a sports injury prevention framework. A key concept behind monitoring training loads for …
