Adaptive locomotion: Foot strike pattern and limb mechanical stiffness while running over an obstacle
Journal of Biomechanics
Previous studies of level running suggest runners adjust foot strike to control leg stiffness. This study aimed to determine how runners adjusted mechanical stiffness and foot strike prior to, during and after a drop in surface height. Ten healthy subjects (5 male, 5 female; 24.32 ± 5.0 years) were video recorded as they ran on an outdoor path with a single drop in surface height (12.5 cm).

Dealing with sports injuries in the GP surgery: Foot and lower leg
Pulse
Stress fractures occur from repetitive submaximal loads being placed on bone, to the extent that bone resorption occurs at a faster rate than bone remodelling. This leads to a microscopic 'crack', which if not given time to heal will lead to macroscopic damage. Stress fractures account for 10-20% of all sports medicine consultations with elite track and field athletes.
