Athletes participating in elite sports are exposed to high training loads and increasingly saturated competition calendars. Emerging evidence indicates that poor load management is a major risk factor for injury. The International Olympic Committee convened an expert group review the scientific relationship of (defined broadly include rapid changes load, calendar congestion, psychological travel) health outcomes sport. We summarise results linking injury athletes, provide coaches support...

There are large variations in the incidence, registration methods and reported causes of sudden cardiac arrest/sudden death (SCA/SCD) competitive recreational athletes. A crucial question is to which degree these genuine or partly due methodological incongruities.
