Background: It has been suggested that foot strike technique (FST) at initial contact is related
to running-related injuries (RRIs). Purpose: To explore the relationship between FST and …

Objectives To determine the incidence of Achilles tendinopathy in a large group of
recreational runners and to determine risk factors for developing AT. Design Observational …

Purpose Foot strike patterns (FSP) influence landing mechanics, with rearfoot strike (RFS)
runners exhibiting higher impact loading than forefoot strike (FFS) runners. The few studies …

Background For those runners who utilize footwear and have a rearfoot strike pattern, the
durability of the midsole heel region has been shown to deteriorate as shoe mileage …

Two-dimensional running analyses are common in research and practice, and have been
shown to be reliable when conducted on a treadmill. However, running is typically …

Runners strike their feet with three different patterns during running: forefoot, midfoot, and
rearfoot. This study aimed to investigate whether runners maintain consistent patterns while …

Different location and incidence of lower extremity injuries have been reported in rearfoot
strike (RFS) and forefoot strike (FFS) recreational runners. These might be related to …

Background The number of individuals participating in organised races is increasing, with
few studies undertaken in ecologically-valid settings. Running involves cyclical movements …

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries are prevalent in the NBA and are associated with a
significant number of games missed. There is a lack of reference data for clinical measures …

Context Three foot-strike techniques are common in runners. If these techniques generate
different sounds at the point of impact with the ground, lower limb kinetics may be …
