S2E3: Does strength training prevent running injury??? with Dr. Rich Blagrove
Summary
The conversation discusses a recent research study on exercise-based injury prevention in endurance runners. The study found that there is no significant positive effect of exercise-based prevention programs on reducing injury risk and injury rates in endurance runners. However, the study also highlights the importance of supervision and adherence to the program, as studies that had close supervision showed a positive effect. The conversation emphasizes the need for individualized strength and conditioning programs, consistent engagement with the program, and consideration of broader healthy behaviours in lifestyle. Future studies should focus on larger-scale, long-term prospective studies and explore the multifactorial nature of overuse injuries in runners.
Takeaways
- Exercise-based prevention programs do not have a significant positive effect on reducing injury risk and injury rates in endurance runners.
- Supervision and adherence to the program are important factors that may contribute to the effectiveness of exercise-based prevention programs.
- Individualized strength and conditioning programs, consistent engagement, and consideration of broader healthy behaviors are recommended for runners.
- Future studies should focus on larger-scale, long-term prospective studies and explore the multifactorial nature of overuse injuries in runners.
