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.
