Reducing Running Injuries
Research pertaining to preventative strategies to reduce running injuries is needed because the rate of occurrence among runners, annually is about 40%-50%. Several factors impact running injuries, however powerful proof with regard to prevention is only present with regard to workout modifications mainly through decreasing weekly mileage. A pair of physiological elements, cavus or high arched foot along with leg length inequality, show a link to injury.
Orthotics
Inadequate proof suggests that orthotics may possibly reduce the danger associated with stress fractures, yet there is simply no distinct evidence that demonstrates they will reduce the threat for those athletes with leg length inequality or cavus.
Research is needed
Additional research is needed to determine whether interventions to address other potential injury variables, including strength, bio mechanics, stretching, warm-ups, nutrition, psychological factors, and shoes will help prevent running injury.
