This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study looked at 134 competitive runners to see if advanced footwear technology (AFT) — the springy, carbon-fiber shoes many elite athletes wear — is linked to more muscle and tendon injuries. Researchers surveyed athletes about their training habits and injury history over three seasons. The goal is to understand whether these shoes, which boost performance, also raise injury risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help athletes and coaches understand whether advanced running shoes raise or lower injury risk, guiding safer training choices.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results depend on athletes' memory of past injuries, which may be inaccurate.
