Feasibility and usability of GPS data in exploring associations between training load and running-related knee injuries in recreational runners.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of the present study was to explore the feasibility of collecting GPS data and the usability of GPS data to evaluate associations between the training load and onset of running-related knee injuries (RRKIs).

Methods

Participants of the INSPIRE-trial, a randomized-controlled trial on running injury prevention, were asked to participate in this study. At baseline, demographic variables were collected. Follow-up questionnaires assessed information on RRKIs. Participants with a new reported RRKI and uninjured participants were sent a GPS export request. Weekly GPS-based training distances were used to calculate Acute:Chronic Workload Ratios (ACWRs).

Results

A total of 240 participants (62.7%) tracked their running training sessions with the use of a
