Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate in greater depth the effects of different running forms on soft tissue physical properties in long-distance runners and the relationship of this to injury risk. By doing so, the study seeks to provide new insights into the pathophysiology of running injuries and develop more effective injury prevention strategies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is expected to reveal the effects of different running forms on soft tissue physical properties in long-distance runners and the relationship of these effects to injury risk.

Running analysis will be conducted by recording 30-second videos of participants during their runs, and tests will be performed using the MyotonePro device on predetermined areas. Before the evaluations, all participants will be informed about the study's objectives and their verbal informed consent will be obtained.

physical properties of soft tissue

Using the Myoton Pro device, the physical properties such as elasticity and viscosity of the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, gastrocnemius, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles will be measured.

Intervention Type OTHER

Analysis of Running Form

High-speed camera systems will be used to analyze biomechanical parameters in detail, such as angular movements of the lower extremity joints (tibia, ankle, knee, hip), step length, and ground contact time during running. These analyses will allow us to objectively characterize different running forms.

Intervention Type OTHER
