Comparison of impact accelerations between injury-resistant and recently injured recreational runners.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction/purpose

Previous injury has consistently been shown to be one of the greatest risk factors for running-related injuries (RRIs). Runners returning to participation following injury may still demonstrate injury-related mechanics (e.g. repetitive high impact loading), potentially exposing them to further injuries. The aim of this study was to determine if the magnitude (Peakaccel) and rate of loading (Rateaccel) at the tibia and sacrum differ between runners who have never been injured, those who have acquired injury resistance (runners who have not been injured in the past 2 years) and those who have been recently injured (RRI sustained 3-12 months ago).

Methods

Runners completed an online survey capturing details of their RRI history over the previous 2 years. Ne
