Biomechanical insights into Achilles tendinopathy risk and protection in runners: a large prospective study 4HAIE Open
Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether lower limb biomechanics in runners and non-runners are risk factors for the onset of Achilles tendinopathy, and to assess the contributions of age, sex, running distance and injury history to …

Development of the CHILD‐SHOE Reporting Checklist: A Scoping Review and Modified Delphi Study to Support Reporting in Children's Footwear Research Open
Background Inconsistent reporting of interventions and outcomes is a key barrier to research translation. Children's footwear research is often inconsistently reported as there are no standards or recommendations on what to report or conse…

Association between T2 relaxation time and biomechanical loading of the anterior cruciate ligament in healthy individuals Open
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is common in sports that include 'change in direction' tasks. The aim of the current study was to determine the association between T2 relaxation time (an indicator of ACL integrity) of the distal po…

Running Distance and Biomechanical Risk Factors for Plantar Fasciitis: A 1-yr Prospective 4HAIE Cohort Study Open
Introduction Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common running-related injuries. Purpose The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of PF and identify potential risk or protective factors for PF in runners and …

Regular Running Is Related to the Knee Joint Cartilage Structure in Healthy Adults Open
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether regular running distance and biomechanics are related to medial central femur cartilage (MCFC) structure. Methods The cross-sectional study sample consisted of 1164 runners and non…

Achilles tendon dimensions, ankle stiffness and footfall patterns in recreational runners Open
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among Achilles tendon (AT) dimensions, ankle joint stiffness, and footfall patterns in recreational rearfoot and non-rearfoot runners. Based on the foot strike index, a tot…

Age differences in running biomechanics during footstrike between preschool children and adults Open
This study aimed to compare impact loading between two age groups of preschool children (3-4 and 5-6 years old) and one group of young adults representing mature level of running skill (n = 15 per group). Three-dimensional biomechanical da…

Acute effects of footwear on running impact loading in the preschool years Open
The aim of this study was to assess acute effects of footwear conditions (barefoot, minimalist and standard running shoes) on running impact loading in the preschool years. Fourty-eight habitually shod preschool children (26 males and 22 f…

Effect of Footwear on Running Impact Loading in the Preschool Years Open
Background Previous research indicated that running barefoot or in minimalist shoes led to lower impact loading in an adolescent and adult population. Running as fundamental locomotor skill significantly develops during early childhood (pr…

Running and Physical Activity in an Air-Polluted Environment: The Biomechanical and Musculoskeletal Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study 4HAIE (Healthy Aging in Industrial Environment—Program 4) Open
Far too little attention has been paid to health effects of air pollution and physical (in)activity on musculoskeletal health. The purpose of the Healthy aging in industrial environment study (4HAIE) is to investigate the potential impact …
View article: Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics During Walking and Running After Surgical Achilles Tendon Repair
Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics During Walking and Running After Surgical Achilles Tendon Repair Open
Background: Despite the increasing incidence of Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures, there is a lack of information on the possible risks associated with regular running and walking for exercise after an injury. There are some known kinematic ga…
