Predictors of dropping out from a home tele-exercise programme: A cohort study derived from a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Online home exercises represent opportunities to increase physical activity levels. However, high dropout rates are commonly reported in such programmes. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of dropping out from an online home exercise programme.

HealthyTrailsBR - The prevalence of running-related injuries and cramps, and the description of personal and running characteristics in Brazilian trail runners: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Physical activity in natural environments, such as trail running, is a way to nurture physical and mental health. However, running has an inherent risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of running-related injuries (RRI) and cramps, and to describe the personal and training characteristics of Brazilian trail runners.

Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning approaches in sports: Concepts, applications, challenges, and future perspectives.

Background: The development and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in healthcare have gained attention as a promising and powerful resource to change the landscape of healthcare. The potential of these technologies for injury prediction, performance analysis, personalized training, and treatment comes with challenges related to the complexity of sports dynamics and the multidimensional aspects of athletic performance.

Objectives: We aimed to present the current state of AI and ML applications in sports science, specifically in the areas of injury prediction, performance enhancement, and rehabilitation.

Implementation of an online pain science education for chronic musculoskeletal pain in Brazilian public health system: protocol for a hybrid type III randomised controlled trial with economic evaluation.

Background: Although clinical practice guidelines recommend pain education as the first-line option for the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain, there is a lack of pain education programmes in healthcare. Thus, digital health programmes can be an effective tool for implementing pain education strategies for public health. This trial will aim to analyse the implementation and effectiveness outcomes of three online pain science education strategies in the Brazilian public health system (SUS) for individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Nasal dilator and physiological parameters associated to running performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Nasal dilators were created to expand the nasal valve area. The aim of this systematic review was to verify physiological parameters associated to running performance with the use of nasal dilators. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021225795).

What are the facilitators and barriers to develop a running-related injury prevention program? A qualitative study.

Background: Knowing the facilitators and barriers of the development process of prevention programs in advance may prevent setbacks to occur and may even enable strategies to explore the facilitators and to deal with and/or avoid possible barriers.

Objective: To investigate the facilitators and barriers of the development process of a running-related injury (RRI) prevention program.

Methods: This was a qualitative study conducted with semi-structured face-to-face interviews with participants from the development of the RunIn3 RRI prevention program.

RunIn3: the development process of a running-related injury prevention programme.

Background: Running is an important type of exercise to keep people physically active. However, running also carries a risk of developing running-related injuries (RRI). Therefore, effective and evidence-based RRI prevention programmes are desirable, but are scarce in practice.

Brazilian version of the OSTRC Questionnaire on health problems (OSTRC-BR): translation, cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties.

Background: The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center - Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-QHP) has been shown to be a valid and reliable questionnaire for monitoring athletes with acute, overuse, and illness problems.

Objectives: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the OSTRC-QHP into Brazilian-Portuguese (OSTRC-BR), and investigate the measurement properties of this version.

Methods: The original (Norwegian) questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted following existing guidelines.

The Association Between the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio and Running-Related Injuries in Dutch Runners: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To investigate the association between the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and running-related injuries (RRI).

Methods: This is a secondary analysis using a database composed of data from three studies conducted with the same RRI surveillance system. Longitudinal data comprising running exposure (workload) and RRI were collected biweekly during the respective cohorts' follow-up (18-65 weeks).

Can we explain running-related injury preventive behavior? A path analysis.

Background: Behavioral and social science theories/models have been gaining attention in sports injury prevention.

Objective: To investigate the potential of the Theory of Planned Behavior in explaining running-related injury preventive behavior.

Methods: Six-month prospective cohort study based on data gathered from a randomized controlled trial.

Cost-effectiveness and implementation process of a running-related injury prevention program (RunIn3): Protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Running is one of the most popular and accessible physical activities in the world. However, running-related injuries are unfortunately very common. Scientific evidence is limited and scarce regarding (cost-)effectiveness and implementation process of interventions for running-related injuries prevention.

Are there really many runners out there? Is the proportion of runners increasing over time? A population-based 12-year repeated cross-sectional study with 625,460 Brazilians.

Objectives: To investigate the proportion of individuals who practice running, its temporal trend, and to describe the runners' characteristics.

Design: Population-based repeated cross-sectional study.

Methods: The data from the Protective and Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel) from Brazil were used.

What is the foot strike pattern distribution in children and adolescents during running? A cross-sectional study.

Background: There is a lack of studies describing foot strike patterns in children and adolescents. This raises the question on what the natural foot strike pattern with less extrinsic influence should be and whether or not it is valid to make assumptions on adults based on the knowledge from children.

Objectives: To investigate the distribution of foot strike patterns in children and adolescents during running, and the association of participants' characteristics with the foot strike patterns.
