- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships amongst internal training loads (ITL), lower extremity (LE) movement quality, and injury risk in male collegiate soccer athletes. Fifty-two Division-I athletes consented to this study. Daily ITL were collected and tracked over the course of two consecutive seasons using a rated perceived exertion scale and session duration. LE movement assessments were performed in preseason using the Landing Error Scoring system (LESS), and were used to create two groups: poor movers (n=33,LESS ≥5), and good movers (n=19,LESS ≤4). Repeated measures ANOVAs and Chi Squares were utilized for analysis. Mid-season ITL were significantly lower compared to early (p<.001) and late (p<.001) season ITL. No significant differences in ITL were found between poor and good movers. Early-season injury risk was not influenced by movement quality or ITL but future large sample studies are needed in NCAA collegiate athletes.
