Biomechanics of Running: Injury Prevention Insights
This chapter explores a biomechanical model to analyze stresses and torques during running, emphasizing how kinematic factors influence injury risk at key joints. It discusses the impact of running variables like cadence and surface gradient on cumulative damage, particularly concerning the Achilles tendon and patellofemoral joint. Practical recommendations for gait adjustments and surface choices are provided to aid recovery and minimize injury risk.
