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.
