There are relatively few running studies that have attempted to prospectively identify
biomechanical risk factors associated with Achilles tendon (AT) injuries. Therefore, the aim …

PURPOSE: Running with increased duty factors (DF) has been shown to effectively reduce
external forces during running. In this study, we investigated whether running with increased …

Despite decades of efforts, running injury prevention programs continue to fall short of
achieving a reduction in running injury rates1 and most running injuries are notorious for …

The main objective was to investigate whether the cumulative load of the lower limbs,
defined as the product of external load and step rate, could be predicted using …

Background Comparing the performance of one leg to another is a common means of
assessing running gait to help inform clinical management strategies. Various methods are …
