sports rec and leisure risk factors in running injuries- m
Slide-deck by Michael Ryan (PhD Candidate, Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Center, UBC) summarizing epidemiology, common locations and diagnoses, intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, and prevention/future directions for running injuries in recreational runners. Reports wide variation in incidence (commonly quoted 24–77%), knee as the most frequent location (~42.1%), common diagnoses (PFPS 26%, ITBFS 14%, plantar fasciitis 13%), and cites prospective/retrospective Taunton et al. (Br J Sports Med 2002;2003). Emphasizes risk factors including anthropometrics, biomechanics, previous injury, training load/progression, and footwear; suggests role for functional closed-chain exercises and muscle performance (hip abductors, calf, quadriceps) in prevention.
