In the past 100 years, running shoes experienced dramatic changes. The question then
arises whether or not running shoes (or sport shoes in general) influence the frequency of …

BACKGROUND: Lower-limb stress fracture is one of the most common types of running
injuries. There have been several studies focusing on the association between stress …

Introduction Tibial stress fractures are a common overuse injury resulting from the
accumulation of bone microdamage due to repeated loading. Researchers and wearable …

ABSTRACT HRELJAC, A. Impact and Overuse Injuries in Runners. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc.,
Vol. 36, No. 5, pp. 845–849, 2004. Forces that are repeatedly applied to the body could lead …

Runners sustain injuries at an alarming rate. According to various epidemiologic studies [1–
7], between 27% and 70% of recreational and competitive distance runners can expect to be …

Gait asymmetry may be linked to the tendency for runners to sustain chronic overuse
injuries. This paper compares gait asymmetry in female runners who have never sustained a …

The purpose of the present study was to ascertain whether increase in step frequency at a
given velocity during running reduces the lower extremity loading variables, which is …

Running-related injuries (RRI) may result from accumulated microtrauma caused by
combinations of high load magnitudes (vertical ground reaction forces; vGRFs) and numbers …

The assessment of loading during walking and running has historically been limited to data
collection in laboratory settings or with devices that require a computer connection. This …

Various shoes are worn by distance runners throughout a training season. This study
measured the differences in ground reaction forces between running shoes, racing flats, and …
