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. Although it is not easy to influence all of these factors, load management is an important aspect that can help reduce the risk of injuries. 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. You can read more about load management under "Nice to Know" on the homepage.
