Abstract

Accurate exposure data are essential: Valid methods of quantifying sporting exposure and athlete response are essential to answering many sports injury research questions. External measures of exposure describe volume, duration or intensity of a match or training session and include time (eg, hours spent training), distance (eg, metres run) and number of events (eg, number of baseball pitches).1 Internal measures relate to the effect on, or experience of, an athlete during a session and include both subjective (eg, rating of percieved exertion (RPE)) and objective measures (eg, heart rate).1
