Abstract
![CDATA[INTRODUCTION: Running is one of the most popular sports globally, but up to 85% of novice runners incur an injury in a given year [1]. High level of impact loading has been reported to associate with many running-related injuries, such as patellofemoral pain, stress fractures, and plantar fasciitis [2]. Previous studies have utilized gait retraining program to successfully lower impact loading in runners [3]. However, softer footfalls may not necessarily lead to injury-free running. To our best knowledge, there are no studies that have examined the effect of a gait retraining program on preventing injury in novice runners. Hence, this study examined the impact loading before and after the gait retraining. We also evaluated the effectiveness of the program on the annual incidence of running related injury.]]
