31. července 2026 aktualizováno: Yeditepe University
THE IMPACT OF A MULTICOMPONENT EXERCISE PROGRAM ON ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE, PHYSICAL PARAMETERS, AND INJURY REDUCTION IN RECREATIONAL RUNNERS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.
Study aim was to evaluate effectiveness of two home-based exercise programs upon athletic performance, physical parameters and injury reduction in recreational runners. Participants were randomized to multicomponent and traditional strength exercise program in block randomization. Primary outcomes were maximal oxygen uptake (VO2Max) calculated with 20 meter (m) shuttle run test (20m SRT), muscle strength of quadriceps femoris, hamstring and gluteus medius calculated via handheld dynamometer (HHD), plyometric performance measured via countermovement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ), foot posture assessment with foot posture index and navicular drop, core endurance with prone bridge, side bridge and horizontal extension and calf endurance values. Secondary outcome was injury reduction followed via self made questionnaire that was sent each week to the participants in order them to record injury and training characteristic of that with including running and exercise program. Programs were given online without supervision 2-3 times a week. Study consisted of 16-weeks with 8-week training, and 8 weeks follow up including baseline and 8th week assessment. In each assessment all the primary outcomes measured.
H0: There will be no improvement in athletic performance, physical parameters, and injury risk after the multi-component exercise program.
H1: There will be improvement in athletic performance, physical parameters, and injury risk after the multi-component exercise program.

Countermovement Jump
Časové okno: Baseline and 8th week assessment
|
In order to execute the jump the participant jumped with fast deceleration till 90-degree squat position followed by maximum effort acceleration while holding their hand on their hip.
Subjects should perform three jumps, and the best of the three was used.
There should be 1-minute rest period between repetitions .

Drop Jump
Časové okno: Baseline and 8th week assessment
|
The participant will perform drop jump from a 30 cm box.
They should keep their hands on their hips while executing the jump all the time.
At the start of the jump, the participant must step off the box with one foot.
After drop patient should jump maximally as soon as possible after touching the ground.
Therefore, minimum ground contact time and maximum vertical distance were expected Three trials should executed, and the best one will used in the analysis

Isometric strength of the gluteus medius will be assessed using the Microfet 2 handheld dynamometer, which was reliable for measuring the hip muscle system.
The participant must exert maximal effort for 5 seconds in a predetermined direction which was hip abduction in this case.
Two repetitions will be performed, and the best result will be recorded.
Hip abduction will be measured in the side-lying position with the contralateral leg flexed at 30 degrees at the hip and knee.
The tested leg will be positioned at 0 degrees hip flexion, 10 degrees hip abduction, and full knee extension.
The dynamometer will be placed 5 cm proximally to the lateral condyle of the femur.

Calf endurance test was valid test for assessing calf endurance.
The participants will perform as many calves raises as possible on a 10-degree inclined surface, extending their knees and using a metronome of 30 beats per minute representing 30 repetitions per minute .
Before the test, each participant will warm up with ten bilateral standing heel raises to get used to the metronome speed.
The test termination criteria will be explained to the participants which were if the heel can no longer be raised off the incline board, if the digital metronome's pace can no longer be followed and if the knee angle or trunk posture can no longer be maintained or more than fingertip support on the wall is required for balance.
A verbal cue was supplied if a termination requirement was met.
When two successive prompts went unanswered, the test was stopped .

Foot posture index
Časové okno: Baseline and 8th week assessment
|
FPI consisted of 6 measurements which were themed from parts of the foot such as forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot.
Each evaluation scored with 5 scores consisting of -2 to +2.
These evaluations were: talar head palpation, curves above and below lateral malleolus, inversion and eversion of the calcaneus, bulge in the region of talonavicular joint, congruence of the medial longitudinal arch, abduction and adduction of forefoot on the rearfoot (too-many-toes) .Participant will evaluated in a relaxed standing position .

The distance from navicular tuberosity will be measured via using a meter in sitting position when subtalar joint was in neutral position.
After that same distance will be measured in weight bearing position.
The difference between the two measurements will give the navicular drop difference.

Injury Tracking Assessment
Časové okno: Baseline to 16th week in each week questionnaire sent.
|
Injury tracking and training-related variables will be collected through questionnaire that was created for this study.
The questionnaire will be self-administered and will used to assess the incidence and prevalence of injuries.
It included questions about how many sessions of the programs were performed weekly and the duration of each session.
Additionally, there were questions about the number of weekly running training sessions, the surface, the distance covered, and the duration of each session.
Finally, there were questions about whether an injury occurred, the location of the injury, how (sudden or gradual) and when the pain manifested.
An injury was classified as a running-related injury resulting inability to participate in the next training session due to any musculoskeletal complaint .
A Google form will be used to collect these questions.
