结局指标
主要结局
Change in Strength
时间窗: Week 0, Week 8
Strength of the muscles crossing the ankle, knee and hip joint will be assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of training in order to assess the change in strength following training.
Change in Running Mechanics
时间窗: Week 0, Week 8
Running kinematics and kinetics will be measured using 3D motion capture technology at baseline and after 8 weeks of training in order to assess the change in running mechanics following training.
Change in Postural Control
时间窗: Week 0, Week 8
Postural control will be assessed using single leg stance and the star excursion balance test at baseline and after 8 weeks of training in order to assess the change in postural control following training.
次要结局
- Cumulative Running Related Injuries(Week 0 through Week 24)
