Running-related injuries among recreational runners
… activity is quitting because of an injury. In running, one of the most practiced leisure-time physical activities on a global scale, injuries are unfortunately common. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore questions related to how many, which types of and why do recreational runners …

The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation
Background: Running related injuries are influenced by a complex interaction between multiple factors. Running kinematic patterns represent one such factor which will influence the load applied to musculoskeletal structures during each foot contact of a run. When combined with an increase in …

Injury risk assessment and the incidence of musculo-skeletal injuries in recreational long-distance runners over a 3-month training period
Background: Long distance road running 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 …

Risk factors for lower limb musculoskeletal injuries in novice runners: a prospective study
… the development of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries in novice runners. The specific objectives of this study were: (a) to describe the demographic and training characteristics of novice runners; (b) to establish the incidence of self-reported running-related injuries in novice runners; (c) …

The Runner: A Profile of Injury and Addiction
… has developed in recent years as to whether running should be considered a "positive addiction" or as a "negative "addiction." And judgements have not been made on an adequate base of epidemiologic data. This study sought to develop a more detailed body of epidemiologic information on the …

The Effects of Gait Retraining in Runners With Patellofemoral Pain
Running popularity has increased resulting in a concomitant increase in running-related injuries. Of these injuries, patellofemoral pain (PFP) is the most commonly reported. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether gait retraining by modifying footstrike patterns from rearfoot …

Does a greater training load increase the risk of injury and illness in ultramarathon runners? A prospective descriptive, longitudinal design
Background: Ultramarathon running has become extremely popular over the years. Despite the numerous health benefits of running, there are also many negative effects of running such as increased risk of musculoskeletal injury and illness. Training loads imposed on an athlete should induce positive …

EMG measurement of the adductor muscles during walking and running
… has been linked to a range of musculoskeletal running injuries and may be linked to atypical activation pattern of the muscles surrounding the pelvis. However, to date, previous research investigating pelvic drop has focused on the abductor group, with minimal focus on the adductor group. …

Die Bedeutung sensomotorischer Effekte in der Einlagenversorgung bei Läufern : eine Analyse zur Aktivität der sprunggelenksstabilisierenden Muskulatur und der Beschwerdesymptomatik bei Läufern mit laufspezifischen Beschwerden
In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurden bei Ausdauerläufern eine hohe Prävalenz und steigende Inzidenz laufspezifischer Beschwerden des Stütz- und Bewegungsapparates insbesondere im Bereich der unteren Extremität verzeichnet. In der Therapie dieser Beschwerden hat sich eine Einlagenversorgung bewährt. In …

Gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in habitually resistance-trained marathon runners and traditionally running-trained marathon runners: a comparative analysis
Background: Marathon running involves running long distances and is associated with a high prevalence of running-related injuries. The calf has been identified as one of the most commonly injured structures during running. Running training causes an overload on muscle and stimulates a physiological …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
Running injuries have been linked to poor lower extremity dynamic alignment, increased whole body and joint loading, and insufficient modulation of stiffness throughout stance phase. Upper body muscle activity and movement have a relationship to lower body dynamics; however, the literature has …
