“…One might suspect that designing prevention program should be fairly straightforward, or that there are many interventions proven to lower running injury risks. Possibly the most comprehensive review of the literature, regarding running injury prevention, is the one done by Yeung, Yeung, and Gillespie (2011). Th ey focused only on soft -tissue injuries but included a wide range of interventions in their systematic search and further analysis.…”

Runners are particularly prone to developing overuse injuries. Th e most common runningrelated injuries include medial tibial stress syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendinopathy, iliotibial band syndrome, tibial stress fractures, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Two of the most signifi cant risk factors appear to be injury history and weekly distance. Several trials have successfully identifi ed biomechanical risk factors for specifi c injuries, with increased ground reaction forces, excessive foot pronation, hip internal rotation and hip adduction during stance phase being mentioned most oft en. However, evidence on interventions for lowering injury risk is limited, especially regarding exercise-based interventions. Biofeedback training for lowering ground reaction forces is one of the few methods proven to be eff ective. It seems that the best way to approach running injury prevention is through individualized treatment. Each athlete should be assessed separately and scanned for risk factors, which should be then addressed with specifi c exercises. Th is review provides an overview of most common running-related injuries, with a particular focus on risk factors, and emphasizes the problems encountered in preventing running-related injuries.

“…In spite of other studies on runners demonstrate that only a small portion performs such exercises 1,9,16 . The fact that a high proportion of runners stretch before or after running may be related to fact that athletes and trainers believe that stretching could prevent injuries, in spite of the lack of scientific evidence that supports this belief [19][20][21] . Most of runners from this study reported to workout without any kind of professional monitoring (Table 3).…”

“…Nowadays, several health professionals who work with running have suggested the use of flexibility exercises (stretching) and/or the prescription of special running shoes with the aim of preventing musculoskeletal injuries, in spite of the lack of evidence supporting their use [19][20][21]28 . Longitudinal studies investigating the influence of these and of other training characteristics on the development of new musculoskeletal running-related injuries should be carry out.…”

“…The difference in striking pattern is shown by barefoot runners landing on their forefoot whilst those who run when wearing shoes land predominantly on their hind-foot [7,8]. In addition to this, a Cochrane review suggests that custom-made biomechanical insoles could be more effective for reducing the incidence of shin splints when compared to wearing no insoles [9], which implies that the use of orthotics could reduce risk of RRIs. et al conducted a prospective cohort study consisting of 228 Dutch trail runners aged 18 and over.…”

Background: Running is a widely accessible sport with millions of participants in the UK alone. Whilst running has been recognised to have signifi cant health benefi ts, it does come with a risk of injury. Running-related injuries (RRIs) are seen more commonly in novice runners compared to athletes. Currently, there is ongoing debate as to what is the major cause of RRIs with some suggesting it is down to the differences in striking pattern. RRIs cause a substantial economic burden. There is no clear guidance as to whether the use of an orthotic truly prevents injury and improves running performance.
