Interactions Between Running Volume and Running Pace and Injury Occurrence in Recreational Runners: A Secondary Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Context

The combination of excessive increases in running pace and volume is essential to consider when investigating associations between running and running-related injury.

Objectives

To complete a secondary analysis, using a dataset from a randomized trial, to evaluate the interactions between relative or absolute weekly changes in running volume and running pace on the occurrence of running injuries among a cohort of injury-free recreational runners in Denmark.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Running volume and pace were collected during a 24-week follow-up using global positioning systems data. Training data were used to calculate relative and absolute weekly changes in running volume and pace.

Patients or other participants

A total of 586
