Dream Team of training load management: How training influences injury and performance - a podcast by BMJ Group

The BJSM community is well aware of the interest in the role of training load on injury. Dr Dr Tim Gabbett, Dr Alex Kountouris and Dr to be Michael Drew share insights into the principles that underpin successful player management. They give specific examples from football codes and cricket at the elite level. They also discuss what clinicians who do not have access to the full raft of data-gathering technology can do to advise players how to monitor load.
We thank Sports Physiotherapist Paul Visentini (who invented the VISA score for tendinopathy) for producing the very successful event and for sharing two podcasts with us. (The second will be posted here within a month). (Twitter = @PaulVisentini and @PhysioSports429)
