How running affects soft tissues in long-distance runners
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how long-distance running affects the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and other tissues) in your body. It may help understand how running changes these tissues in amateur runners.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 25 and 35 years old
- You are an amateur athlete (not a professional)
- You have not had surgery on your lower limbs (legs, knees, ankles, or feet)
