No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate in greater depth the effects of different running forms on soft tissue physical properties in long-distance runners and the relationship of this to injury risk. By doing so, the study seeks to provide new insights into the pathophysiology of running injuries and develop more effective injury prevention strategies.

Conditions

  • Runner

Interventions

OTHER

physical properties of soft tissue

Using the Myoton Pro device, the physical properties such as elasticity and viscosity of the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, gastrocnemius, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles will be measured.

OTHER

Analysis of Running Form

High-speed camera systems will be used to analyze biomechanical parameters in detail, such as angular movements of the lower extremity joints (tibia, ankle, knee, hip), step length, and ground contact time during running. These analyses will allow us to objectively characterize different running forms.
