Promoting women runner’s health - Trail W (2021-2027)

Running, a popular activity for women worldwide, is a preferred alternative to returning to pivoting sports after knee injury. But women runners must navigate sex-specific factors that might contribute to their running-related injuries and pain, and knee joint health. The aim of TRAIL-W is to explore the relationship between women’s health domains of: (i) gynaecological (including menstrual); (ii) obstetric; (iii) breast; and (iv) pelvic floor health; physical (e.g. strength, movement patterns, running behaviour), psychological (e.g. fear of movement, self-efficacy) and social (including gendered) factors, and running related injuries, pain and knee joint health.
