Abstract

Introduction: Running biomechanics and expected mechanical asymmetries with no history of running-related injuries, and (2) determine whether age influenced gait parameter asymmetry.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 250 runners were used to test age effects on biomechanical variables and asymmetry outcomes. Effect sizes of age brackets were determined for runner characteristics and biomechanical variables.

Results: Runners aged 55 years had the slowest velocity and 1.7%-4% slower occurred in ankle flexion moments, ankle and knee frontal excursions, and peak VALR (range, 12.1%-33.8% different between right and left limbs).

Discussion: Given that we did not find consistent effects. These data can help inform reference ranges of normative biomechanical metrics and guide clinicians in gait retraining and performance targets across the age spectrum.

参考生物力学参数和自然不对称性在不同年龄范围的跑步者中没有跑步相关损伤的历史。

引言：无跑步相关损伤史的跑步生物力学和预期的机械不对称性，以及(2)确定年龄是否影响步态参数不对称性。方法：这项横断面研究包括250名跑步者，以测试年龄对生物力学变量和不对称结果的影响。确定年龄组跑步者特征和生物力学变量的效应大小。结果：55岁跑步者的速度最慢，踝关节屈曲力矩、踝关节和膝关节前突、VALR峰值慢1.7% ~ 4%（左右肢差异12.1% ~ 33.8%）。讨论：鉴于我们没有发现一致的效果。这些数据可以帮助告知规范生物力学指标的参考范围，并指导临床医生进行步态再训练和跨年龄范围的表现目标。
