Summary
Runners face conflicting advice on injury prevention, from landing techniques to footwear. This JOSPT issue aims to clarify running science, offering unified answers for common running injuries and promoting injury-free performance.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Biomechanics
- Exercise Physiology
Background:
- High running injury incidence (26-92%) prompts a search for effective prevention strategies.
- Conflicting information exists regarding optimal running form, stretching, and footwear.
- Practitioners often seek a single cause for running injuries, such as foot pronation or impact forces.
Discussion:
- The complexity of running injuries necessitates a multifaceted approach.
- Diverse running topics require comprehensive analysis to understand injury mechanisms.
- Current understanding of running is fragmented, leading to confusion for athletes and clinicians.
Key Insights:
- Addressing the wide range of running injury causes is crucial.
- Consolidating knowledge across various running disciplines is needed.
- Establishing common, evidence-based answers for running injury prevention is the goal.
Outlook:
- This JOSPT issue seeks to synthesize current knowledge on running.
- The aim is to provide a more unified understanding of running biomechanics and injury.
- Future research should focus on integrating diverse running data for practical applications.

01:14Active Transport
2.6K
Active transport is a critical biological process that allows cells to move solutes against an electrochemical gradient. This process requires direct energy input and is characterized by its selectivity, saturability, and susceptibility to competitive inhibition.
Primary active transporters, like Na+, K+ and -ATPase, directly utilize ATP to move ions across the membrane. These transporters play significant roles in various physiological processes. For instance, Na+, K+ and -ATPase maintain...

01:09Rolling Without Slipping
4.2K
People have observed the rolling motion without slipping ever since the invention of the wheel. For example, one can look at the interaction between a car's tires and the surface of the road. If the driver presses the accelerator to the floor so that the tires spin without the car moving forward, there must be kinetic friction between the wheels and the road's surface. If the driver slowly presses the accelerator, causing the car to move forward, the tires roll without slipping. It is...

01:14Rolling With Slipping
6.9K
Rolling with slipping is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a rolling object experiences both rotational and linear motion but also experiences frictional forces that cause slipping. This phenomenon can occur in various situations, such as when a tire rolls on a wet road or a ball rolls on a rough surface.
An object's rolling motion is characterized by its rotation around its axis, while linear motion refers to the object's translational motion along a surface. Frictional forces can...

Run charts serve as an essential instrument for visualizing the performance of various processes over time, enabling the identification of trends and patterns crucial for quality improvement. These charts map out a series of data points chronologically, offering insights into the stability and efficiency of a process. A run chart's creation involves plotting data points on a graph, with the time intervals on the horizontal axis and the specific measurements on the vertical axis. For...

01:04Travelling Waves
5.8K
A wave is a disturbance that propagates from its source, repeating itself periodically, and is typically associated with simple harmonic motion. Mechanical waves are governed by Newton's laws and require a medium to travel. A medium is a substance in which a mechanical wave propagates, and the medium produces an elastic restoring force when it is deformed.
Water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves are some examples of mechanical waves. For water waves, the wave propagation medium is...

01:26Escape Velocity
5.6K
The escape velocity of an object is defined as the minimum initial velocity that it requires to escape the surface of another object to which it is gravitationally bound and never to return. For example, what would be the minimum velocity at which a satellite should be launched from the Earth's surface such that it just escapes the Earth's gravitational field?
To calculate the escape velocity, it is assumed that no energy is lost to any frictional forces. In practice, a satellite...
