Article Synopsis
- This study explored how fatigue affects impact loads during running and examined the connection between muscle strength, power, endurance, and those impact loads.
- Twenty-eight trained runners completed a high-intensity run while their tibial accelerations were tracked, showing that peak tibial acceleration significantly increased as they became fatigued.
- Despite the increase in tibial acceleration, the study found no significant relationship between changes in impact loads and the results of lower limb muscle function tests.
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesise and clarify the effect of running-induced fatigue on impact loading during running. Eight electronic databases were systematically searched until April 2021. Studies that analysed impact loading over the course of a run, in adult runners free of medical conditions were included.
