Bone stress injuries: running analysis & retraining for distance runners
-- Bryan Heiderscheit --
Bone stress injuries (BSI) are relatively common in distance running athletes exposed to large volumes of training. They can be challenging to manage, and recurrence of bone stress injuries are unfortunately common. This session will provide an overview of the risk factors associated with bone stress problems, describe ways to analyze distance running mechanics, and recommend approaches to prevent and manage these injuries, including the role of running retraining.
