What it says
The companion to the IOC's statement on load and injury, this part reviews how load relates to illness and the overtraining syndrome in elite athletes, again counting rapid changes in training, a crowded calendar, psychological stress and travel as load.
It concludes that poor load management is a significant risk factor for acute illness and overtraining, and gives practical guidelines for prescribing training and competition load and for monitoring load, well-being and illness, with research priorities.
