Can Fatigued Resistance Training Reduce Injury Rates?
While fatigue contributes to high rates of soccer hamstring injuries, a 2009 British study theorized eccentric resistance training while fatigued could lessen hamstring injury risk in professional soccer players.
The basic question is: Does the specificity principle also apply to resistance-training timing to prevent injury?
Two groups participated in the eight week study: one group resistance trained before practice or while “fresh”, and one group resistance trained after a fatiguing, game-simulating training session. In other words, the second group resistance trained while fatigued which is when injury risk is highest.
