Study Reveals Running Injuries Can Strike Suddenly, Not Just Over Time

A large study from Aarhus University reveals that running-related overuse injuries often occur suddenly during a single training session rather than gradually, challenging previous beliefs and highlighting flaws in current injury prevention algorithms used in sports watches. The research advocates for new, real-time guidance algorithms to better prevent injuries, emphasizing that existing methods are based on weak scientific evidence.

"Maximizing Running Injury Prevention Through Strength Training"

A new systematic review of exercise-based prevention programs for running injuries suggests that the evidence for strength training as a means of preventing running injuries is underwhelming. While the logic behind strength training to prevent injuries is sound, the review found no significant benefit for exercise groups compared to control groups in terms of injury risk or rate. However, supervised exercise routines and specific foot and ankle strengthening exercises have shown promising results in reducing injury risk. Overall, the evidence on whether strength training or other forms of exercise lower the risk of running injuries remains inconclusive, but there is solid evidence that strength training improves running economy and long-term health.
