The study of running biomechanics has evolved into a multifaceted discipline, merging cutting-edge research with practical applications to optimize performance and minimize injury risk. This interdisciplinary field has garnered significant attention, with a surge in innovative studies and technologies that have transformed the training routines and lifestyles of athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. The integration of biomechanical insights into training programs has led to the development of more efficient running techniques, improved footwear and apparel, and the deployment of advanced wearable technology, all of which have become essential components in the pursuit of excellence in running.
Our Research Topic, Running Biomechanics, seeks to encapsulate the latest advancements and explore the nexus of research and practical application. We are eager to feature submissions that contribute to our understanding of the biomechanics of running, including but not limited to, the analysis of running form, the role of footwear and apparel in enhancing performance, the intricate dynamics of neuromuscular control, the impact of fatigue on running mechanics, and strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
This Research Topic invites original research and review articles that address the following themes:
• Biomechanical Analysis in Running: Investigating the biomechanical adaptations and alterations that occur during running and their implications for performance enhancement and injury prevention.
• Research and Application of Athletic Equipment: Examining how various shoe and apparel designs, materials, and technologies influence running biomechanics and performance.
• Neuromuscular Control: Delving into the complex interplay of neuromuscular control during running and the influence of different conditions and training interventions on this control.
• Fatigue and Injury Risk: Analyzing the relationship between fatigue and changes in running mechanics, as well as the associated risks of injury.
• Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: Assessing the effectiveness of various rehabilitation methods, including equipment intervention and gait retraining, in the context of running injuries.
• Application of Wearable Devices: Exploring the potential of wearable sensors and their algorithms in monitoring and improving running performance and biomechanics.
By fostering a comprehensive dialogue on these topics, we aim to bridge the gap between research and real-world application, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of running biomechanics and its significance in the realm of sports and active living.
