Who and what it addresses
What it says
The IOC convened an expert group to review how load relates to injury in sport. It defines load broadly: not only training and competition volume and rapid changes in it, but also a crowded competition calendar, psychological stress and travel.
It concludes that poor load management is a major risk factor for injury in elite athletes, and gives athletes, coaches and support staff practical guidelines for prescribing training and competition load and for monitoring load, well-being and injury, along with priorities for research.
