Mitigating Injury Risk During Periods of Fixture Congestion: Using Periodisation Models

Our latest ebook, Mitigating Injury Risk During Periods of Fixture Congestion, looks at strategic ways in which performance staff can help their athletes better cope with the demands of fixture congestion.

Examining methods by which training schedules can be periodised, as well as discussing the importance of squad preparation and wellness factors such as diet and sleep, each chapter is focused on how performance can be optimised during the most demanding periods of the season.

Given that performance and associated injury risk can be negatively impacted by fatigue at the busiest times of the season, it is vital that clubs plan and periodise training appropriately to give athletes the best possible chance to recover from and prepare for each match.
