5A 119 INCREASING WORKLOAD RELATES TO INJURY RISK IN RUNNING of data of the running season prevented studying possible influences of the start of a season. Another limitation is the removal of the first four weeks after recovery along with the removal of the rehabilitation period. This removal eliminated the possibility to study the influence of the possible workload difference between rehabilitation training and regular training. Although when the ACWR is looked at in an elite training setting, the assessment of the ACWR during recovery can be an indicator whether an athlete is prepared well enough to enter a normal training schedule [38]. From our study, we conclude that the ACWR is a useful measure to identify an increased injury risk in competitive running. The ACWR could be taken into account when designing training schedules, observing the ability to execute the planned training schedule, and monitoring the ACWR recorded by the runner. Timely identification of an increase of the ACWR may enable timely preventive measures decreasing the injury risk in runners.
