Understanding load in netball – An analysis of multiple seasons, phases, and teams
Fig 1
An example of the risks associated with analysing unrepresentative load data.
This chart provides a conceptual illustration of a relationship between load and a response variable which could be a change in a component of fitness or injury risk. The horizontal bars represent the range of a load measure for three hypothetical studies. Each study’s unique range of load influences whether a relationship with the response variable would be detected in an analysis of the data.
