Abstract

Anyone who works with athletes of any age and ability knows the best way for the athlete to avoid injury is to avoid playing sports. Anyone who works with athletes also knows that athletes want to play sports above almost all else. Understanding the relationship between how much sports activity an athlete participates in (ie, workload) and injury will help clinicians, athletes, and coaches know what to do to keep athletes healthy (injury free) and performing their best. In the October 2020 focused issue of <i>JOSPT</i>, we tackle workload and sports injury. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(10):536-537. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.0108</i>.
