Poster 124: Intrinsic Anthropometric Factors are Associated with Bone Stress Injuries in Collegiate Distance Runners: New Risk Metrics & Screening Tools?
Abstract:Objectives: Lower limb bone stress injuries (BSI) of the pelvis, femur, and tibia are prevalent in collegiate track & field distance runners. However, it is not known the population’s bone, body composition (BComp), and anthropometric parameters prior to first respective collegiate injury compared to non-injured counterpart. This respective injury has been reported to require an extended timeframe for recovery as well as increases the risk, prospectively, for sustaining another similar injury. Extrinsic fa… Show more
