Introduction to running analysis in the clinical setting: A masterclass

Running is a widely-adopted exercise modality, with relatively low financial barriers to access, and is associated with a host of health benefits. However, with this high participation rate, comes a high risk of running related injury (RRI) —with rates of up to 85 % being reported. There are many drivers of RRI such as training load, genetic and anthropometric factors, with biomechanical factors being an important consideration also. Traditionally, biomechanical gait analysis was only able to be performed in expensive specialised 3 D gait laboratories.
