Effect of stride length on maximal pelvic tilt and hip extension during running

What is the Effect of Changing Running Step Rate on Injury, Performance and Biomechanics? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…The results of the Downs and Black Quality Index scores for each study are shown in Table 2 . Of the 37 included studies, 17 were high quality [ 22 , 27 – 42 ], 19 were moderate quality [ 23 , 25 , 26 , 43 – 58 ], and 1 was low quality [ 24 ].…”

“…Twenty-two studies [ 10 , 12 – 14 , 18 – 25 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 37 – 39 , 42 , 45 ] were identified evaluating biomechanical differences between running with a preferred step rate and an increased step rate, and 13 studies [ 12 – 14 , 19 , 20 , 24 , 25 , 28 , 32 , 33 , 37 , 39 , 42 ] were identified evaluating biomechanical differences between running with a preferred step rate and a reduced step rate. A total of 221 variables were evaluated (Tables 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ).…”

“…Nine studies [ 24 , 26 , 30 , 33 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 54 , 57 ] were identified evaluating running spatiotemporal gait parameters. Eight studies [ 26 , 30 , 33 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 54 , 57 ] evaluated differences in gait parameters between running with a preferred step rate and an increased step rate, while seven studies [ 24 , 26 , 30 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 54 ] evaluated differences between running with a preferred step rate and a reduced step rate.…”

“…Step length: In recreational runners, compared to running with a preferred step rate: moderate evidence indicated a shorter step length with a 10% increase in step rate (2HQ [ 30 , 33 ] and 2MQ [ 44 , 49 ]; 0.93, 0.49 to 1.37; I 2 = 52%); and moderate evidence indicated a longer step length with a 10% reduction in step rate (1HQ [ 30 ], 2MQ [ 44 , 49 ] and 1LQ [ 24 ]; − 0.76, − 1.31 to − 0.21; I 2 = 70%).…”

“…Thirteen studies [ 23 , 24 , 26 , 32 – 34 , 36 , 38 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 51 , 55 ] evaluated 67 biomechanical variables at the hip. Twelve studies [ 23 , 26 , 32 – 34 , 36 , 38 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 51 , 55 ] evaluated biomechanical differences between running with a preferred step rate and an increased step rate, while seven studies [ 24 , 26 , 36 , 44 , 45 , 49 , 51 ] evaluated biomechanical differences between running with a preferred step rate and a reduced step rate.…”
