A Case Study on Running Asymmetry Through Ground Reaction Forces and Kinematics in a Long- Distance Runner prone to injury

Key Points

• The aim is to study the impact of running asymmetry on injury risk and performance in long-distance running.
• Analyzed ground reaction forces during running
• Examined kinematic data to assess leg movement disparities
• Focused on a long-distance runner with a history of injury
• Identified significant leg movement discrepancies during running
• Showed correlations between asymmetry and increased injury risk
• Noted decreased performance metrics associated with running asymmetry
