Workload Management
Keep athletes fit, healthy, and ready to win
Preventable injury and illness are major problems
Poor load management is a leading risk factor
Frequency is alarming
1.5M high school and college athletes are injured in the US every year, while every hour, 172 student-athletes suffer a sports injury severe enough to seek medical attention.
Costs are enormous
Injuries can cause athletes’ to drop-out from sport, negatively affect his/her long term health and often place an increased burden on the health care system.
Athletes can be overtrained or undertrained
Athletes who are training intensively walk a fine line between peak performance and health issues. Training too much (or to little) will inevitably result in disappointing performance, illnesses or injury.
We can help
AthleteMonitoring.com uses evidence-based methods to provides you with a real-time picture of each athlete’s risk of injury and readiness. It helps you adjust training programs based on individual response to load, and improve performance safely.
Keep athletes in the ‘high performance-low risk’ zone
Load, injuries and performance are closely tied. Optimal workload management helps you monitor the individual load-performance-injury relationship and maximize athletic potential safely
The Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) is a crucial workload management metric that measure the relationship between acute load (3-7 day load) and chronic load (21-28 day average load). Monitoring ACWR helps to keep athletes in the ‘high-load, low-risk zone’ and maximize performance while minimizing the risk of injuries. (Adapted from: Foster, 1996; Gabbett TJ, 2016)
Risk is Multifaceted–Everything Counts
AthleteMonitoring.com helps you monitor risk factors in real time, and optimize workload using a holistic approach
AthleteMonitoring.com in Practice
How it works
Athletes complete a short wellness questionnaire every morning and a quick post-session questionnaire.
Coaches or sport scientits can also import GPS, heart rate and external load data from their preferred wearable device / sport tracker.
AthleteMonitoring alerts coaches when an athlete is not ready for a hard training day, when risk increases and provide ‘how-to-fix’ recommendations.1
AthleteMonitoring analyse wellness (fatigue, stress, sleep quality, etc), readiness and workload metrics (acute:chronic workload ratio, week to week load increase, monotony, strain, etc.) and identify individual issues using evidence-based algorithms and published risk thresholds. Coach can then make an informed decision and adapt the athlete’s program based on the athletes’ individual workload alerts, fatigue (physical and psychological), wellness, fitness, health and recovery levels.
Did you know?
When workload increases by ≥15 % from the preceding week, the risk of injury can increase by up to 50 %

Blessures, infections et contreperformances sont des problèmes courants en sport de haut niveau. En France, chaque année, environ 792.000 athlètes de 15 à 29 ans sont victimes de blessures sportives. Dans cet article, nous présenterons les concepts fondamentaux de la gestion de charge de travail, les principaux indicateurs scientifiquement validés, ainsi que des stratégies et recommandations pratiques qui, une fois appliquées, permettront de réduire les risques de blessures et d’optimiser la performance.
