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 .
A 12-month prospective cohort study of injury in international rowers
Objective In this study , the injury incidence and association with type and volume of training in international rowers were described . Design A prospect i ve cohort design was used over a 12-month period . Patients 20 international rowers who were competing as part of the Irish Amateur Rowing Union squad system . Methods The rowers were interviewed monthly , and data were collected regarding their training and competition exposure as well as their injury experience . Results A mean injury rate of 3.67 per 1000 exposure hours was reported with a total of 44 injuries reported in a 12-month period . The mean number of injuries sustained per athlete was 2.2 ( 1.24 ) over the 12-month period . The area where the greatest number of injuries were reported was the lumbar spine ( 31.82 % of total injuries , 95 % CI 20 to 50 ) ( fig 2 ) followed by the knee ( 15.91 % of total injuries , 95 % CI 10 to 30 ) and the cervical spine ( 11.36 % of total injuries , 95 % CI 5 to 24 ) . Half of the injuries ( 22 injuries , 50 % of total reported injuries ) were to the spine ( χ2 = 30.8 , df = 9 , p = 0.0003 ) . Ergometer training load was the most significantly associated with injury risk ( r = 0.68 , p = 0.01 ) . Conclusion International rowers are at higher risk of injury than most non-contact sports and some contact sports . The high risk of lumbar spine injury and the significant association of high volume of ergometer training merit further research to reduce time and competition lost to injury
