Acute workload (% of normal average) |
For example, if an athlete returned to sport and had a normal 100% loading week (acute workload) but if over the past 4 weeks due to the rehabilitation of their injury had only averaged 40% of their normal load (chronic workload), we could expect the likelihood of suffering an injury in the following week to be 28%.
