Of the few studies examining negative consequences associated with workloads , increases in training load led to increases in injury rates , while longer training duration was associated with a greater incidence of illness .
Conclusion The combined capacity for adolescent males to grow , train and improve physical performance highlights and underscores an exciting responsiveness to training in the football environment .
However , the capacity to train has some established barriers for adolescents experiencing high workloads , which could also result in negative consequences .
Background The expectation that training enhances performance is well explored in professional sport .
However , the additional challenges of physical and cognitive maturation may require careful consideration when determining workloads to enhance performance in adolescents .
Objective The objective of this study was to determine the state of knowledge on the relationship between workloads , physical performance , injury and /or illness in adolescent male football players .
Relationship between training load and injury in professional rugby league players.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between training load and injury in professional rugby league players ; DESIGN Prospect i ve cohort study ; METHODS Seventy-nine professional rugby league players ( mean±SD age , 23.3±3.8 years ) participated in this four-year study . A periodized field , strength , and power training program was implemented , with training loads progressively increased in the general preparatory phase of the season and reduced during the competitive phase of the season . Training loads and injuries were recorded for each training session . RESULTS Training load was significantly related ( P<0.05 ) to overall injury ( r=0.82 ) , non-contact field injury ( r=0.82 ) , and contact field injury ( r=0.80 ) rates . Significant relationships were also observed between the field training load and overall field injury ( r=0.68 ) , non-contact field injury ( r=0.65 ) , and contact field injury ( r=0.63 ) rates . Strength and power training loads were significantly related to the incidence of strength and power injuries ( r=0.63 ) . There was no significant relationship between field training loads and the incidence of strength and power injuries . However , strength and power training loads were significantly ( P<0.01 ) associated with the incidence of contact ( r=0.75 ) and non-contact ( r=0.82 ) field training injuries . CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the harder rugby league players train , the more injuries they will sustain , and that high strength and power training loads may contribute indirectly to field injuries . Monitoring of training loads and careful scheduling of field and gymnasium sessions to avoid residual fatigue is warranted to minimize the effect of training-related injuries on professional rugby league players
