Change in runner screening test over 12 weeks
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how a screening test for runners changes over 12 weeks. It is for senior runners who are members of a running club and have completed several 10-kilometer races recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a senior runner (typically age 60 or older).
- You belong to a running club.
- You have run at least five 10-kilometer races in the past year.
- You work out at least three times a week.

This study compares two exercise programs for Achilles tendon pain: one focuses on muscle architecture (how the muscle is built), and the other is the Alfredson protocol (a classic set of eccentric exercises). If you join, you may get a treatment that helps your tendon heal and reduces pain.
This study tests whether the position of your foot during exercises affects how well your Achilles tendon heals and how much pain you experience. Researchers will compare different foot positions during rehabilitation to see which works best for reducing Achilles tendon pain and improving tendon strength.
This study talks with people who have had Achilles tendinopathy to understand what helps or hinders them in sticking with exercise treatment. Your experiences will help improve how exercise programs are designed for others.
This study tests whether applying a stiff (rigid) tape to the Achilles tendon area helps reduce chronic Achilles pain during activities like running and jumping. It's designed for people who have had this pain for over 3 months.
This trial tests a minimally invasive treatment for chronic Achilles tendon pain that hasn't improved with at least 3 months of rest, therapy, or other non-surgical care. It aims to help people who want to avoid surgery.
This study tests whether extra support from a clinician during a progressive exercise program helps people with Achilles tendon pain improve faster. You'll do exercises that gradually increase the load on your tendon, with guidance from a physical therapist via video visits.
