Summary

The aim of this trial is to investigate the effectiveness of specific training programs on the incidence of injuries in recreational runners. 408 runners between the ages of 18 and 55 years, will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the intervention group or control group. The intervention group will perform the training program twice a week in addition to their regular training. Injury data will be collected as the injuries occur and documentation of injury will follow a predetermined definition of injury. Participants will submit weekly reports of their running distance, frequency, running-related pain, as well as successful performance of the assigned training program for the intervention groups. The primary outcome is the incidence of injuries in all groups.
