Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
According to the evidence, that real-time visual and auditory feedback based on gait retraining should be considered to treat injured runners or prevent injuries. However, no previous studies have been carried out on whether gait retraining decreases running-related injuries incidence in young triathletes.
The investigators propose a study to determine the effect of gait retraining on the decrease in the number of running-related injuries and improve the running efficiency in young triathletes.

Gait Retraining Group
Athletes from the Triathlon Plan in High Performance of the Valencian Community in Spain performing individual gait retraining sessions
Gait retraining
5 gait retraining sessions of continuous feedback in real time during running sessions; using videotape feedback, a digital metronome to increase step rate, and verbal feedback to reduce the tendency to heel strike upon ground contact. Verbal feedback is offered during the 25- to 30-minute running sessions following a series of drills aimed at improving running mechanics.
