Bone Stress Injuries Defined
- Bone stress injuries differ from acute fractures by developing over time due to repetitive stress and inadequate recovery.
- Recovery typically takes longer than acute fractures as damage accumulates from micro cracks rather than a single traumatic event.
Why Runners Are Vulnerable
- Runners are prone to bone stress injuries due to repetitive loading and insufficient bone adaptation from low-intensity running.
- Energy deficits compound risk by impairing bone recovery and increasing vulnerability to injury.
