Multifactorial Determinants of Running Injury Locations in 550 Injured Recreational Runners.
Despite the health benefits of running, the prevalence of running-related injuries (RRI) remains high. The underlying risk factors between these injuries are still not well understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare biomechanical, anthropometric, and demographic injury risk factors between different locations in injured recreational runners. ⋯ Sex, foot strike pattern, and vGRF were the only factors that distinguished specific injury locations from the remaining injury locations.
