Evaluation of lower extremity overuse injury potential in runners

Article Abstract:

This article examines anthropometric and biomechanical factors associated with overuse injuries in runners. Analyses of video recordings of subjects running across level surfaces indicate that injury-free runners had greater hamstring flexibility, faster rearfoot pronation rates, and lower impact force levels than runners who had experienced at least one overuse injury.

Reliability of biomechanical variables of sprint running

Article Abstract:

Twenty eight male athletes did maximal effort sprints to analyze the reliability of variables used in biochemical assessment of sprint running was reported and how these reliability measures are likely to improve when using the average score of multiple trials was studied. The results showed that the reliability of a single score differed widely among variables.

Impact and overuse injuries in runners

Article Abstract:

The current state of knowledge related to overuse running injuries with emphasis on the effect of impact forces is reviewed. It is believed that by developing screening processes, medical practitioners will be in a position to identify runners who are at a high risk of overuse injury.
