About IntelliLoad

A lower limb bone stress injury risk profiling tool developed by BK Sports Medicine.

IntelliLoad is designed to help active individuals understand factors that may influence lower limb bone stress injury risk.

It considers training load, recovery, bone health, energy availability, cumulative impact exposure, and symptom patterns.

The IntelliLoad framework

LOADADAPTATIONCAPACITY

Bone stress injuries often develop when cumulative training and impact loads exceed the body's ability to adapt and recover. IntelliLoad uses this framework to help identify factors that may influence lower limb bone stress injury risk.

Who IntelliLoad is for

Runners building training volume
Field and court sport athletes
Active people returning to activity
Individuals with previous bone stress injury
Athletes adding new impact activities
People wanting to understand training load and recovery factors

What IntelliLoad assesses

Training load and recent progression
Cumulative impact exposure
Recovery and sleep
Bone health and nutrition factors
Energy availability and menstrual health where relevant
Current symptoms and medical review triggers

Important limitations

IntelliLoad does not diagnose stress fracture or stress injury.

It does not replace clinical assessment, imaging, or physical examination.

It does not provide personalised medical treatment.

Results should be interpreted as educational information and a reference point only.

Research & validation

IntelliLoad is research-informed and clinician-guided, but it has not yet undergone prospective validation.

The long-term goal is to evaluate real-world outcomes and refine the model over time.
