    Study Notes

    Stress and Injury in Athletes

    • There is a direct relationship between stress and injury in athletes, with excessive stress increasing the risk of injury.
    • The ideal amount of stress for an athlete is optimal, where the athlete is challenged but not overwhelmed, allowing for adaptation and improvement.

    Training Load Stress and Injury Risk

    • High training load stress increases the risk of injury, particularly when there is a sudden increase in training workload.
    • A sudden increase in training workload, known as "training spikes," can lead to a higher risk of injury.

    Effects of Excessive Stress on Athletes

    • Excessive stress can lead to physical and mental fatigue, decreased performance, and an increased risk of injury.

    Stressors and Injury Risk

    • University athletes are most affected by academic stress, which can be a significant contributor to overall stress levels and injury risk.

    Monitoring Stress in Athletes

    • Monitoring both training- and non-training related stress in athletes is crucial, as it allows for early identification and management of stress, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall performance.
