Acute To Chronic Workload Training Monitoring Mistake

Sports Rehab Success Show

In this episode we discuss acute to chronic workload monitoring during training and with teams/athletes.

Teams spend thousands of dollars every year to monitor the amount of work an athlete performs both acutely and chronically over the course of a year or season. This has been a game changer for a lot of teams to reduce the likelihood of injury as well as help someone recover from an injury!

However, in today's episode I discuss how a lot of times clinicians and coaches take this as a way to over simplify the recovery of an injury. Or over simplify the coaching aspect of training.

Please do not forget that biomechanics and movement efficiency matter! I see to many clinicians and coaches brush this skill to the side in favor of just monitoring workload. Knowing how to improve someones movement efficiency and create movement variability will also help the athletes reduce workload and repetitive stress both in the acute and long term scenarios. So please continue to monitor workloads! Just don't forget about biomechanics, movement variability, and technique.
