injuries (RRI's) in both groups. Definition of a RRI in this trial is; running
related musculoskeletal ailment of the lower extremity or back, causing a
restriction of running for at least one week, i.e. three consecutive training
sessions.

Background summary
Running is a popular form of recreational exercise. Although running has
positive effects on health and fitness, the risk of a running related injury
(RRI) has to be considered. The incidence of RRI*s is high and varies from
30-79%. In novice runners an RRI can negatively affect future physical
activity, so the prevention of running injuries especially in novice runners is
important.
Study objective
To determine the effect of a preconditioning (PRECON) program on the
development of running related injuries in novice runners compared to a
traditional training program (CON) without a preconditioning program.
Study design
A two arm randomized controlled trial
Intervention
A 4 week preconditioning program, with walking and hopping exercise, prior to a
10 week training program in a group of novice runners compared to a 10 week
training program without a preconditioning program.
Study burden and risks
There is no additional risk for participants
Time to fill in the database and/or questionnaires will be 180 minutes in 9
months
