Longer duration of foot pronation may have a protective effect from stress fractures of the femur and tibia. This finding may promote the understanding of stress fracture pathomechanism, assist in the identification of subjects with increased risk who need augmented monitoring throughout training, and assist in future planning of impact reducing aids.

Discrete variables representative of the force-generating capacity of neck muscles under isometric conditions can be measured with an acceptable degree of reliability. This finding has possible applications for investigating the role of neck muscle strength-training programs in reducing the risk of injuries in sport settings.
