Abstract: This study was conducted to monitor the training patterns
throughout a basketball season in order to determine if a
relationship exists between the physical stress of practice and
the occurrence of injuries and illnesses in NCAA Division III
athletes. Subjects consisted of college women (n = 12) ranging
in age from 18 to 22 years. A certified athletic trainer
distributed a questionnaire following each practice, including
2 weeks of preseason, documenting the presence of injury,
illness, or both, relative to the intensity and duration of practice.
Training load, training monotony, and training strain
were computed using the session rate of perceived exertion
scale method. An increase in injuries occurred during times
of increased training loads, particularly during the first 2
weeks of formal practice, and immediately subsequent to the
holidays. The temporal relationship between training load
and injury suggests a causative link (p < 0.01; r = 0.675).
The present data suggest that the periodization pattern of
basketball training may be linked to the likelihood of illness/
injury.
