A Multifactorial Approach to Overuse Running Injuries: A 1-Year Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because of the complex and multifaceted nature of running injuries, a multifactorial approach when investigating running injuries is required.

Hypothesis

Compared with uninjured runners, injured runners would exhibit different running biomechanics, display more fatigue changes, and would run a greater weekly running volume; more injured runners would also report having a previous injury.

Study design

Prospective cohort study.

Level of evidence

Level 4.

Methods

At commencement of the study, data were collected on demographics, anthropometrics, training history, previous injury history, and center-of-mass accelerations during a long-distance overground run. Participants completed weekly training diaries and were monitored for 1 year for an injur
