Course Overview

Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, yet up to 80% of participants experience running-related injuries (RRI). This full-day course introduces a mechanobiological perspective to understanding, preventing, and treating RRI. Attendees will gain cutting-edge insights from current research and hands-on lab evaluation with advanced technology such as force-measuring wearables, surface EMG, and 3D motion capture.
