Causal pathways between training loads and the mechanisms of tissue damage and athletic
injury are poorly understood. Here, the relation between specific training load measures and …

Biological maturation can be defined as the timing and tempo of progress to achieving a
mature state. The estimation of age of peak height velocity (PHV) or percentage of final …

Kinematic analysis is a useful and widespread tool used in research and clinical
biomechanics for the quantification of human movement. Common marker-based optical …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

The purpose of this 2-part commentary series is† to explain why we believe our ability to
control injury risk by manipulating training load (TL) in its current state is an illusion and why …

The human body constantly experiences mechanical loading. However, quantifying internal
loads within the musculoskeletal system remains challenging, especially during …

Background The acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) is an index of the acute workload
relative to the cumulative chronic workloads. The monitoring of physical workloads using the …

The aim of the present study was to quantify joint kinematics through a wearable sensor
system in multidirectional high-speed complex movements used in a protocol for …

Mechanical loading to the knee joint results in a differential response based on the local
capacity of the tissues (ligament, tendon, meniscus, cartilage, and bone) and how those …

Elite sport practitioners increasingly use data to support training process decisions related to
athletes' health and performance. A careful application of data analytics is essential to gain …
