Training Load and Injury Prevention

PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/

This podcast from Fit As A Physio discusses load management for injury prevention in athletes. It highlights the importance of balancing acute workload (recent training) with chronic workload (longer-term training history) to reduce injury risk. The post explains how to measure training load using session RPE multiplied by duration and introduces the concept of training-stress balance. A negative balance, where recent workload significantly exceeds chronic workload, is shown to increase injury risk, emphasising the need to avoid sudden large increases in training volume, especially for those more prone to injury.
