BLITS developed the BLITS® training and injury diary to make inventories of training and competition load, to detect overreaching or overtraining and to register injuries sustained during sports activities. Based on scientific literature the necessary parameters were selected to determine training and competition loads. The BLITS-research team is one of the world’s most prominent research centres on overtraining.
