Abstract

Running has many health benefits, but injuries associated with running can result in considerable health and economic burdens. This is particularly important given the reported injury incidence of between 18.2 to 92.4% Previous injury is the primary risk factor related to running injuries. As injured athletes often display deficits in neuromuscular strength, and these weaknesses may be evident at the time of return to sport it is thought that persistent residual weakness following injury may predispose an athlete to subsequent injury. To date, studies have mainly compared the neuromuscular strength of currently injured and uninjured runners. More information is needed to explore potential differences in strength among healthy runners with a history of injury, which may allow clinicians to address weaknesses and ultimately better direct treatment.
