Flashcards

Acute Chronic Workload Ratio

The ratio of short-term workload (acute phase, usually one week) to long-term workload (chronic phase, usually 3-6 weeks).

Acute Phase

Represents the athlete's most recent workload, typically encompassing the past week.

Chronic Phase

Reflects the athlete's training load over a more extended period, usually the last 3-6 weeks.

Injury Risk Prediction

Using the ACWR to predict injury risk by monitoring the ratio and adjusting training loads as needed.

Study Notes

External Sensors and Injury Prevention

  • External sensors are used to try and predict and prevent injuries in athletes.
  • Long training loads can lead to injuries, but too little training results in poor performance.
  • Wearable technology enables better characterization of training.
  • Machine learning algorithms analyze data to predict injury risk or optimal training loads.

Wearable Devices in Boxing

  • A study used wearable sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) on boxing gloves and wrists.
  • Machine learning algorithms analyzed sensor data to predict the type of punches thrown.
  • Accuracy of prediction was about 90%.
  • This demonstrates sensors can differentiate different striking patterns.

Acute-to-Chronic Workload Ratio

  • This ratio compares short-term (acute) workload to long-term (chronic) workload.
  • It's calculated by measuring training volume in recent days/weeks to the preceding months.
  • External measures are used to determine this ratio.
  • It helps predict injury risk.
  • High ratios (above 1.5, especially 2.0) indicate a high risk of injury.
  • A ratio of 1.0 suggests the current training week's workload is similar to the training load of the past month.
  • Coaches and trainers use this data for planning better training regimens.

Workload and Injury Risk

  • Recent studies suggest a measurable relationship between acute-chronic workload ratios and injuries.
  • Athlete and team coaches use this to manage training loads appropriately.
  • The workload ratio can help predict injury risk.
  • A ratio above 1.5 or 2.0 signals a higher risk of overuse injury
