Assess the impact of training load and perceived exertion on injury and illness in women’s soccer players.
Monitored 24 Division I women’s soccer players over a 13-week season
Measured both internal and external load during 69 athlete exposures
Documented injury and illness status daily with a mixed-effects ordinal logistic regression model.
Higher daily mileage increased injury or illness odds (OR = 1.67)
Training load reduced injury or illness odds by 42% for each unit increase (OR = 0.58)
Session-RPE was not significantly linked to injury or illness
