Not every load is risky for an injury

Figure: Load (resulting stress), frequency and injury risk.

Hello All. Here I'm again after a long absence. Today, I would like to drop few lines on load, frequency and injury risk relationship. I'm stimulated from the recent consensus statement on load and injuries in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. To download this paper click this link here. Great read.

Looking at figure 1 of that paper, I would like to add that not all loads are risky for an injury. Actually, the combination of load and frequency could affect the injury risk. Here is my drawing from the basics in biomechanics. Hope it's clear and you enjoy this read too!
