Abstract
- O Cathain, CP, Richter, C, and Moran, K. Can directed compliant running reduce the magnitude of variables associated with the development of running injuries? J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2020-Running is one of the most popular modes of activity worldwide and provides numerous health benefits. However, impact forces associated with the foot contacting the ground have been implicated in the development of running related injuries. As such, previous studies have used various methods to alter running to reduce the magnitude of these impact forces. However, it is unclear what kinematic changes facilitate this reduced loading or how loading further up the body changes. In this study, verbal direction was used to teach subjects to run with a more compliant running technique. Kinetic and kinematics characteristics of each subjects "normal" running technique and new "compliant technique" were measured in a fatigued and unfatigued state. Energy expenditure of each running style was also measured. Verbally directed compliant running significantly decreased (17%) vertical ground reaction force impact peaks, sacral (41%) and head (28%) impact accelerations, and increased energy expenditure (21%), in comparison with normal running. Findings suggest that verbally directed compliant running may reduce the magnitude of variables associated with the development of running injuries.
