2nd Aspire Academy Sports Science Conference - Monitoring Athlete Training Loads

I was able to attend the 2nd Aspire Academy Sports Science Conference this week. The main topic of the conferences "Monitoring Athlete Training Loads - The Hows and Whys".

 

Sessions included:

  •  Load monitoring - History and future directions.
  • Monitoring training loads in:
    • endurance sports
    • strength/power sports
    • team sports
    • young/developmental athletes
  • Technology for load monitoring
  • Modelling training loads
  • Load monitoring and injury prevention

 

HERE is a link to the conference program.

 

Below you will find some "interesting/take-home/conclusion/key messages" of presentations.
