Prevention of Running-Related Injuries in the SportMedBC Vancouver Sun Run InTraining Program

To determine whether tailored online evidence-based advice for Running-Related Injury (RRI) prevention, in addition to general advice at baseline, is more effective than general advice at baseline alone for runners of the SportMedBC Vancouver Sun Run InTraining Program to decrease prevalence of RRI and change the perceptions and behaviours of runners regarding RRI prevention interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Prevalence of Running-Related Injuries Sustained are measured using the 5 Follow-Up Questionnaires at weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 and the Final Questionnaire at week 13 2. Number of running sessions not fully accomplished or completely missed due to a running injury are measured using the 5 Follow-Up Questionnaires at weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 and the Final Questionnaire at week 13	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Number of correct responses on questions for perceptions and behaviours is measured using Final Questionnaire at week 13 and the changes in responses between the Baseline Questionnaire at week 1 or 2 and the Final Questionnaire at week 13 2. Number of responses to sources of RRI prevention advice most used is measured using the Final Questionnaire at week 13 3. Common barriers that prevent participants from participating in the recommended RRI prevention interventions are measured using an open-ended question on the Final Questionnaire at week 13	—
