The Impact of High-Cadence Cycling on Overground Running Performance in Recreational Runners
… and spatiotemporal parameters in adult recreational runners. Thirty recreational runners completed two testing sessions. On Day 1, participants performed an 800 m run at maximal workout pace to establish baseline performance. On Day 2, participants completed a 10-minute cycling bout at …

THE ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF HIGHLY CUSHIONED SHOES ON LOADING CHARACTERISTICS IN RECREATIONAL RUNNERS
… on running-related impact forces in adult recreational runners. We hypothesized HCS would result in altered force attenuation compared to standard cushioned shoes (SCS) at baseline. After 4-weeks, we speculated differences would not be attenuated. Twenty-nine healthy runners (18-60 yrs of …

THE EFFECT OF WINTER VERSUS SUMMER RUNNING ON LOWER EXTREMITY MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURY RATE IN RECREATIONAL RUNNERS
… in the winter compared to the summer months in recreational runners. The participants were surveyed on their injury history for the past year. The results of this study showed that the injury rate for musculoskeletal injuries was higher in the winter months. While the numbers themselves were not …

Interactions between training load, submaximal heart rate, and performance in endurance runners
… has rapidly increased in recent years with more recreational runners entering the field. How recreational runners train is not well known. Understanding this and the relationship between training and performance in this group of runners is important for prescribing appropriate training to …

The assessment of fatigue-related changes in stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations in recreational and elite distance runners using foot-mounted inertial sensors
… a set of gait variables in a group of elite and recreational runners during an exhaustive overground run. It was established that long-range correlations (LRCs) decreased over the run, while no significant changes were observed in the coefficients of variation (CV). Group differences were found …

An Examination of a Morphological, Cardiorespiratory and Biomechanical Model of Endurance Running Performance
… endurance running performance of trained adult recreational runners. It was hypothesized that (1) cardiorespiratory function is the major determinant of endurance running performance, and (2) that selected morphological and biomechanical measures add significantly, yet independently to the …

Body dynamics and muscle activity during Chi running
… 10 participants, both male and female, who were recreational runners training at least 5 days a week. Thirty-second trials were collected continuously on a treadmill in the University of Texas Non-linear Biodynamics Laboratory. The variables being examined were the COM vertical position and COM …

Injury risk assessment and the incidence of musculo-skeletal injuries in recreational long-distance runners over a 3-month training period
… is continually growing as competitive and recreational sport, globally. Despite its popularity, a high burden of incidence of injury exists among runners. Previous research has focussed on specific injuries, whereas others have investigated isolated risk factors that may contribute to …

Módulo tangente do tendão calcanear em corredores
… practice, motivated by the improvement of the runners performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tangent modulus of the calcanear tendon (CT) of runners. Thirty individuals participated in the study, where 10 formed the reliability group, 8 recreational runners and 12 athletes …

Democratizing Performance: Impact of The Data Revolution on Recreational Running
In recent years, recreational running has experienced significant growth, with millions of individuals participating in the sport worldwide. This growth has highlighted the need for accessible and effective training tools and methodologies tailored specifically to recreational runners. While elite …

The Relative Influence of a Model of Selected Physiological, Morphological and Running Parameters on Middle Distance Running Performance
… across the middle distances. Fifty-eight male recreational runners (x age 26.6 yr; x VO(,2) max 62.5 ml/kg-min) were measured for body size, body composition, anaerobic power and capacity, anaerobic threshold, VO(,2) max and running mechanics including stride rate and length. Multiple …

Design and evaluation of a quasi-passive robotic knee brace : on the effects of parallel elasticity on human running
… differing responses between trained marathon runners, who appear to maintain biological knee torque, and recreational runners, who appear to maintain total knee torque. Such a relationship between degree of past training and effective utilization of an external force is suggestive of …

Frontal Plane Pelvic Drop in Runners: Causes and Clinical Implications
… becoming an increasingly popular sport; however, runners have a high rate of injury and are therefore often treated in the orthopedic or sports medicine setting. One current focus of these patients' treatment is gluteus medius muscle (GM) strengthening and gait retraining, with the goal of …

The Difference in HR Response between Track and Treadmill Running at a Pre-determined, Self-selected Pace
… years old) male (n = 12) and female (n = 12) recreational runners volunteered to participate in this study. Each participant performed a maximal graded exercise test (GXT) and four exercise sessions. During the first exercise session, participants completed a 1-mile steady-state jog on either …

Evaluation of risk factors associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome
… with PFPS for the first time and were mostly recreational runners. Body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated from weight and height. Pain scores were taken using the visual analog scale. Strength measurements were taken from the left and right leg for the following measurements: hip abduction …

Characterizing the Use of Continuous Glucose Monitors During Experimentally-Induced Short-Term Low Energy Availability in Female Endurance Runners
Female endurance runners are at high risk for low energy availability (LEA). Preliminary evidence suggests that fasting blood glucose (BG) concentration decreases in response to short-term energy deficiency (low energy availability). BG monitoring tools, such as continuous glucose monitors (CGM), …

Metabolic and lifestyle profiling of overweight female runners compared to lean counterparts: exploring the implications and causes of their elevated body weight
There appears to be an emerging phenotype of recreational runners who are overweight despite being regularly active. This conflicts with the common perception that exercise protects against weight-gain, and it may be caused by underlying insulin-resistance. Alternatively, recent research has …

Gastrointestinal Function, Damage and Symptoms During Exercise and the Potential Therapeutic Role of Probiotic Supplementation
… including; cyclists, triathletes and marathon runners, although there is a large estimated range of between 4–96% of participants affected (Costa et al., 2017a). Two potential causes of exercise-associated GI symptoms are exercise-induced increases in GI permeability and damage, and the …

The Influence of Music on Preferred Intensity and Associated Physiological Responses
… were "moderately fit" (V02: 48 + 6.6 ml/kg/min) recreational runners they may have self-selected a velocity at which they were accustomed to running or jogging during daily exercise independent of music. While V02, treadmill velocity, FIR and RPE did not reach statistical significance between …

An evaluation of gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in endurance runners and low physical activity individuals
… running has become increasingly popular in recreational runners. The gastrocnemius is the main muscle used for propulsion in running, and may be at risk for injury due to its morphology. In previous studies, changes in the morphology and architecture of the gastrocnemius muscle have been …
