---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Correlation between running related injuries (RRI) and running gait harmonicity | Verify if RRI risk is correlated with measures of harmonicity derived from Graal software (registered during three six minutes running test at low, self-selected, high speed):
• Number of pixel of the nine principal frequencies RRI are registered by follow-up questionnaires each month . |
1year | |
Secondary | Correlation between running gait harmonicity and spatio-temporal running parameters | The association of running gait harmonicity measures with contact time, flight time, stride length and cadence will be evaluated at each running velocity. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Correlation between running gait harmonicity and metabolic parameters | The association of running gait harmonicity measures with VO2max, ventilation, respiratory exchange ratio and hearth rate. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Correlation between running related injuries (RRI) and running gait harmonicity | Verify if RRI risk is correlated with measures of harmonicity derived from Graal software (registered during three six minutes running test at low, self-selected, high speed): Signal/noise ratio (ratio between values of the principal frequencies and noise) | 1 year |
