Monitoring of sport participation and injury risk in young athletes

Influence of midsole hardness of standard cushioned shoes on running-related injury risk

“…Subjectively perceived intensity is one of the risk factors identified in our adjusted model (table 4), in accordance with prior results obtained with the same methodology in young elite athletes of different sport disciplines 25. Furthermore, participation in other sports next to running practice was protective.…”

Handball load and shoulder injury rate: a 31-week cohort study of 679 elite youth handball players

“…The primary exposure of interest was the weekly change (increase or decrease) in handball playing load defined and calculated as the amount of hours of handball playing (training and match hours)18 derived from players' SMS answers in SPEx in the current week divided by the weekly average amount of playing hours during the preceding 4 weeks 19. For the analyses, we decided a priori to categorise the player's weekly reports of handball load into the following three primary exposure groups: (1) <20% increase or decrease, (2) between 20% and 60% increase or (3) >60% increase in handball load.…”

Managing the Training Load in Adolescent Athletes

“…34 There may also be links between the types of sport and the injury risk. 35 This is possibly related to the training types; that is, endurance sports will generally have longer durations at lower intensity while other sports may focus on higher intensity and lower duration.…”
