The GRONORUN study: is a graded training program for novice runners effective in preventing running related injuries? Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Background: Running is a popular form of recreational exercise. Beside the positive effects of running on health and fitness, the risk of a running related injury has to be considered. The incidence of injuries in runners is high and varies from 30-79%. However, few intervention studies on prevention of running related injuries have been performed and none of these studies involved novice runners.

“…Some used a definition that required medical attention to be included as an injury 19. Other authors used a definition that used a defined time where the running activity could not be performed and the duration was not consistently the same 12. Other authors defined a running injury if there was any symptom about pain or discomfort 8.…”

“…For the GRONORUN trial, we expected a baseline injury incidence of 30%. 4 With a hypothesized 25% reduction of RRI in the graded training program group compared with the standard training program group, a total of 436 runners (2 × 218) were needed for a power of 80% and an alpha of 0.05. 4 Assuming an attrition of 15% in the intervention period, a total of 512 (2 × 256) novice runners were needed to detect an effect of the intervention.…”

“…A description of the design of the GRONORUN trial is published elsewhere. 4 Participants were randomized into an intervention group (13-week graded training program) or a control group (an 8-week standard training program). The study design, procedures, and informed consent procedure were approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands.…”

“…Se ha demostrado que la práctica de otro deporte antes de comenzar a correr de manera regular, ha actuado como factor de protección en sujetos principiantes en carrera Buist et al, 2007;Buist et al, 2008), siendo muy recomendable un programa de acondicionamiento progresivo previo como herramienta con efectos positivos a la hora de evitar posibles lesiones (Knapik et al, 2004). De la misma manera, realizar otras actividades físicas en el mismo periodo en el que se practica carrera, ha resultado estar asociado a protección ante posibles RRIs (Malisoux, Urhausen, & Theisen, 2014).…”
