Using Load Management to Shape Skill Adaptation in Elite Grappling:

This case study by Rob Wilson (Wilson Health and Performance), Greg Souders (Standard Jiu Jitsu), and Carlmichael Leiva (Ground Game Theory Jiu Jitsu) demonstrates how simple, accessible monitoring tools can help elite grapplers manage allostatic load and improve skill acquisition.
 
It highlights the unique physical and cultural demands of submission grappling—where toughness is prized but chronic overload is common—and shows why strategic load management is essential for long-term performance and health.
 
The authors present a practical, resource-conscious framework for integrating stress-monitoring into high-intensity training environments.
