Van Hooren, van Rengs & Meijer 2024, Per-step and cumulative load at running injury sites

Biomechanical modelling study in Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports of per-step and cumulative load at the three most common running-injury sites — the patellofemoral joint, tibia and Achilles tendon — under varying speed, surface gradient and cadence. Increasing cadence reduced modelled tissue damage at all three sites. The abstract reports direction but not the magnitude of the reductions.
