Objective: To identify the incidence and characteristics associated with a higher injury risk in recreational runners who suffered a running-related injury (RRI) in the previous 12 months.
Design: Prospective cohort study among recreational runners who registered for a Dutch running event (5-42.2 km) and suffered an RRI in the 12 months before inclusion.
Setting: Open population.
Participants: Recreational runners with a previous reported injury.
Assessment Of Risk Factors: At baseline, information on demographics, training characteristics, health complaints, and RRI history was collected.
Main Outcome Measures: With 3 follow-up questionnaires (2 weeks before, 1 day after, and 1 month after the running event), the occurrence of new RRIs was registered.
Results: In total, 548 participants (55.1%) sustained a new RRI during follow-up. In total, 20.5% of the new RRIs was located at the same anatomical location as the previous RRI. Runners who registered for a marathon had a higher chance to sustain a new RRI [odd ratio (OR) 1.72; 95% confidence intervals (CIs), 1.17-2.53]. Also previous RRIs in the upper leg (OR 1.59; 95% CI, 1.15-2.19) and lower leg (OR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.18-2.21) were associated with an increased injury risk.
Conclusions: Especially being a marathon runner and the anatomical location of previous RRIs seem to be associated with the injury risk in recreational runners with a previous RRI.

Objective: Ultra-marathon running races are held as distance-limited or time-limited events, ranging from 6 h to 10 days. Only a few runners compete in 10-day events, and so far, we have little knowledge about the athletes' origins, performance, and event characteristics. The aim of the present study was to investigate the origin and performance of these runners and the fastest race locations.

Background: Most running biomechanics studies have focused on either the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) or Achilles tendon (AT) alone, generating fragmented understanding of how these structures interact as components of an integrated kinetic chain during running. This study was to investigate concurrent biomechanical changes in the PFJ and AT in recreational runners.
Methods: The recreational runners who are accustomed to run with rearfoot strike (RFS, n = 15) and forefoot strike (FFS, n = 15) patterns were recruited.

Runners achieve forward locomotion through diverse techniques. However, understanding the behavior of the involved kinematical variables remains incomplete, particularly when running overground and along an intensity spectrum. We aimed to characterize the biomechanical and physiological adaptations while running at low, moderate, heavy and severe intensities.

Early identification of runners at high risk of subsequent BSI could improve prevention strategies. However, the complex etiology and multifactorial risk factors of BSIs makes identifying predictive risk factors challenging.

Although endurance exercise is cardioprotective, episodes of strenuous physical exertion can trigger sudden cardiac death. While marathon training promotes overall heart health, running such races transiently increases cardiac arrest risk, mainly in middle-aged men with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcium scanning has been advised for risk stratification to identify those who benefit from enhanced primary prevention.
