Paul E. Luebbers, Matthew J. Andre, Andrew C. Fry, Luke A. Olsen, Keith B. Pfannestiel, and Dimitrije Cabarkapa

relationship to several variables on a weekly basis across an entire season of elite National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I male basketball players. The T/C data did appear to track the peak-taper cycles (i.e., structured reduction in training load and volume to optimize recovery) of the

Resistance training loads are often prescribed based on relative intensities of the one-repetition maximum (1RM; González-Badillo et al., 2011 ). Nevertheless, their regular assessment is not always possible due to

-lockdown period (i.e., 8–10 weeks) may have helped to readjust training loads and intensities. Finally, body composition variables were obtained using skinfolds measures, which are, to the authors’ knowledge, not the gold standard ( Sutton et al., 2009 ). Conclusion The present results indicate that the

rapid escalation in their regular training loads involving hard runs, exceeding their acute chronic work ratio by 1.5, may elevate their vulnerability to soft tissue injuries ( Malone et al., 2018 ). Acute chronic work ratio is the ratio of 1 week’s workload (acute workload) to a 4-week average acute
