Biomechanical Changes and the Time Course of Recovery in Lower Extremities of Recreational Runners Following a Simulated Treadmill Half-Marathon
The study revealed that simulated treadmill half-marathon induces alterations to neuromuscular function, impacts landing strategies, and elicits changes in lower extremity joint mechanics. However, these effects are temporary and resolve within two days post-run. These findings provide valuable insights to optimize training responses and prevent overtraining in recreational runners.
