简要总结
The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of strength training in preventing overuse injuries in female runners
详细描述
This randomized clinical trial will compare the effects of 9-months of strength training to a control group on: (1) injury rates in female runners during the 9 month intervention period, and for 9 months after completing the intervention, and (2) on the potential mechanisms of injury including strength, joint and tissue loading, and psychosocial factors.

研究组 & 干预措施
Strength Training Group
This group will begin coming to the Clinical Research Center (near the undergraduate campus of Wake Forest University) for exercise classes 2-3 days per week for about an hour each day. The investigators also have a site on High Point University's campus. The class will consist of a 10-minute warm-up, a 20-minute strength training period, 15-minutes of neuromuscular (balance/coordination) training, and a 15-minute cool down. These regular exercise classes at Wake Forest and High Point University will go on for 9 months, followed by another 9 months of option to continue at facility, plus follow-up via email and 2 group meetings/runs at Fleet Feet (at around months 12 and 15).
干预措施: Strength Training Exercise (Behavioral)
Running Group
This group will be observed as they follow their usual run-training routine over the course of 18 months. Emails will be sent biweekly for 18 months to update the research team on injury/training status. The group will attend 5 group meetings/runs at Fleet Feet (at around months 1, 3, 6, 12, and 15). After the 18 months, the participants will be offered a free 8-week strength training program at the Clinical Research Center or High Point University.
