Perspectives from research and practice: A survey on external load monitoring and bone in sport.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is limited information regarding the association between external load and estimated bone load in sport, which may be important due to the influence exercise can have on bone accrual and injury risk. The aim of this study was to identify external load measuring tools used by support staff to estimate bone load and assess if these methodologies were supported in research.

Methods

A survey was comprised of 19 multiple choice questions and the option to elaborate on if/how they monitor external load and if/how they used them to estimate bone load. A narrative review was performed to assess how external load is associated to bone in research.

Results

Participants were required to be working as support staff in applied sport. Support staff (n = 71
