Several observational studies of the relationship between training load and injury have found increased risks of injury at low loads. These associations are expected because load is often assessed at the end of the injury follow-up period. As such, athletes who get injured earlier in the follow-up period will have systematically lower loads than athletes who get injured later in the follow-up period.

Sporting injuriesSports & exercise medicineTrainingMethodologicalWHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPICThere is a large interest among athletes, coaches and clinicians in managing changes in training load for injury prevention. Longitudinal data from observational studies or load monitoring programmes can provide valuable insights into the causal effect of changing load on injury risk, but data must be analysed appropriately.
