In the survey of workload practices of high level
football clubs (Akenhead & Nassis), 41 sport scientists and fitness coaches
responded to specific questions. There were two questions relevant to this
post’s title; one asked the participants to rate their perceived expected and
actual effectiveness of their strategy on injury prevention and performance
enhancement. The other one asked them to name and rate the barriers to workload
monitoring effectiveness on injury prevention and performance improvement.
Their answers, as means and SD, appear in these 2 graphs.
Briefly, here is the summary of the answers:
-Actual effectiveness of workload monitoring was rated
as being lower that the expected effectiveness for injury prevention and
performance improvement (Graph 1)
-The main barriers to effective implementation of the
workload practices were insufficient manpower and low coach buy-in.

integration with coaching staff.
