LOAD MANAGEMENT

Injuries are complex and can be influenced by many factors, such as training volume, physical condition, recovery, and overall load – to name a few.

By properly balancing training load, you can decrease the risk of injuries. Together with coaches and parents, you can ensure an adapted load that allows for development while giving the body enough time to recover.

A stable shoulder is reliant on the interplay between the muscles around the shoulder. These muscles must be strong and enduring for optimal function. This is especially true if you are depending on your wheelchair for transportation or competing in an over head sport.
