Summary
Biomechanical literature suggests that runners who utilize a mid or forefoot strike pattern may suffer from a reduced incidence of chronic injuries compared to a rearfoot strike. This investigation examined the effects of a 10-week footstrike transition intervention on tibial stress fracture risk in runners.
