Description

Introduction

• Monitoring of workload is vital to minimize risk of overuse musculoskeletal injuries in athletes while optimizing performance
• Heart rate (HR) and session rate of perceived exertion (sRPE) have been shown to be reliable measures of training intensity in steady state and interval exercise
• Relationship between training load and injury in running-based team sports has been established
• Limited studies have investigated internal load in throwing-dominant athletes despite rigorous competition season
