About this study
Official title: The Relationship Between Running Form, Soft Tissue Physical Properties, and Injury in Long-Distance Runners
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
physical properties of soft tissueOther
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.
Analysis of Running FormOther
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.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Gamze Aydın, PhD (5377600256 ext. +90, gmzetsn@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
myoton pro device (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Oct 2024.
