The Impact of Race Overload: The Effects on Athlete Health and Performance

45 races, as planned this season, are clearly too many. “35 to 40 would be a good measure and it would also make it easier to catch up on canceled competitions,” said Raich.

“If we continue like this, then we shouldn’t be surprised if injuries increase,” added the 45-year-old.

“That doesn’t necessarily have to happen during the races. But if you don’t have a break at all, things will get tough at some point. In the sense that injuries develop over time because there is a lack of regeneration,” explained Raich.

“That’s why a Schwarz will simply say stop and take a break.” He is convinced that his compatriot Marco Schwarz, who has developed into an all-rounder, will also have to forego racing.
