Soft Tissue Physical Properties in Long-Distance Runners

October 8, 2024 updated by: Gamze Aydin, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

The Relationship Between Running Form, Soft Tissue Physical Properties, and Injury in Long-Distance Runners

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.

Detailed Description

This study is expected to reveal the effects of different running forms on soft tissue physical properties in long-distance runners and the relationship of these effects to injury risk.

Running analysis will be conducted by recording 30-second videos of participants during their runs, and tests will be performed using the MyotonePro device on predetermined areas. Before the evaluations, all participants will be informed about the study's objectives and their verbal informed consent will be obtained.
