Changes to balance dynamics following a high-intensity run are associated with future injury occurrence in recreational runners.

ABSTRACT: Background: Fatigue is associated with increased injury risk along with changes in balance control and task performance. Musculoskeletal injury rates in runners are high and often result from an inability to adapt to the demands of exercise and a breakdown in the interaction among different biological systems. This study aimed to investigate whether changes in balance dynamics during a single-leg squat task following a high-intensity run could distinguish groups of recreational runners who did and did not sustain a running-related injury within 6 months. Methods: Thirty-one healthy recreational runners completed 60 s of single-leg squat before and after a high-intensity run. Six months after the assessment, this cohort was separated into two groups of 13 matched individuals w
