NORMAL CAPACITY = NO INJURY
The first way involves increasing your load quickly. There is no change to your functional capacity (or Envelope of Function), however you may have increased your load beyond this capacity. An example of this is doubling gym or running sessions to make up for missed sessions.
EXCESSIVE LOAD = INJURY
The second way is maintaining the same load, however your “Envelope of Function” has decreased. Factors that contribute to this decrease include; pain, stress, poor nutrition, fatigue, insufficient recovery or poor sleep. These factors can often explain why an overuse of loading injury has occurred when you have not altered your load.
