ABSTRACT

This paper examines the relationship between long-distance runners’ foot strike patterns (Rearfoot Strike [RFS] and Non Rearfoot Strike [NRFS]) and various aspects such as injuries, performance, and biomechanics. While running has established itself as a popular activity with cardiovascular, respiratory, and psychological benefits, it carries a significant risk of injuries. It was found that most runners adopt an RFS pattern, which tends to increase with distance covered and the use of cushioned footwear. Although some studies suggest a relationship between certain foot strike patterns and specific injuries, there is insufficient evidence to recommend changes in foot strike patterns for injury prevention. Elite runners tend to use an NRFS pattern more than amateurs, but the relationship between foot strike patterns, performance, and biomechanical variables is complex and varies indivually. It concludes that health professionals and coaches should consider these variations when advising runners on training techniques and strategies, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries.



RESUMEN

Este artículo examina la relación entre los patrones de pisada de corredores de larga distancia (Rearfoot Strike [RFS] y Non Rearfoot Strike [NRFS]) y varios aspectos como lesiones, rendimiento y biomecánica. A pesar de que correr se ha establecido como una actividad popular con beneficios cardiovasculares, respiratorios y psicológicos, conlleva un riesgo significativo de lesiones. Se encontró que la mayoría de los corredores adoptan un patrón RFS, que tiende a aumentar con la distancia recorrida, la fatiga y el uso de calzado amortiguado. Aunque algunos estudios sugieren una relación entre ciertos patrones de pisada y lesiones específicas, no hay suficiente evidencia para recomendar cambios en el patrón de pisada para la prevención de lesiones. Los corredores de élite tienden a usar un patrón NRFS más que los amateurs, pero la relación entre el patrón de pisada, el rendimiento y las variables biomecánicas es compleja y varía según el individuo. Se concluye que los profesionales de la salud y entrenadores deben considerar estas variaciones al asesorar a los corredores sobre técnicas y estrategias de entrenamiento, prevención, tratamiento y readaptación de lesiones.
