Runners’ responses to a biofeedback intervention aimed to reduce tibial acceleration differ within and between individuals Open
An increment in peak tibial acceleration (PTA) may be related to an increased risk of running-rated injury. Many authors believe that reducing PTA through improved shock-absorption could, therefore, help prevent injury. The aim of the curr…
