Philip von Rosen's studies include 680 elite athletes representing 16 different sports at 24 such schools around the country who have completed a series of surveys on injury occurrence and the volume and
intensity of their training programmes.

As noted above, included studies were very varied in setting, population group studied, content, timing and
intensity of the intervention, whether it was proactively offered to women or available only if they asked for it, the standard care available, staff
training programmes, and the type and timing
of the outcomes measured.
In this model, middle
intensity work (like rugby
training or matches) should be avoided for the majority
of the
programme because it has the double edged drawback
of not being intense enough to optimally develop strength, speed or power, but too intense to facilitate recovery and adaptation.
Higher volumes at lower
intensities should be used to cement technique, to prepare the tissues
of the body for maximal loading, and to build work capacity so that the fatigue cost
of maximal
training is not excessive when it does eventually feature in the
programme.
Data were extracted on type and
intensity of the intervention, target group, extent
of programme integration with the child's medical care, level
of training of the intervener, consistency
of the delivery
of the intervention, the extent to which a theoretical model was used to develop the intervention, study design, sample size, patient baseline characteristics, follow up, and outcome measures.
