Abstract
Context: Running popularity keeps on increasing. However, it is one of the sports with the highest injury rate. As running practitioners keep increasing, so does the number of running-related injuries. In this context, new prevention of running-induced injuries is needed. A correlation between running-induced fatigue and injuries has been noticed by multiple authors. Goal: The main aim of this scoping review was to identify the biomechanical sub-parameters that would enable us to identify a state of peripheral fatigue in the participants. Method: A literature search has been performed through four electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and PEDro). The database searching was achieved on the 6th of December 2021. Results: Of the 101 evaluated sub-parameters, a cluster of 11 sub-parameters has been standing out: swing time (9/9), foot strike evolution (3/3), vertical displacement of the center of mass (5/5), speed (10/14), stride height (1/1), peak joint velocity (6/6), peak joint moment (5/5), mean horizontal ground reaction forces (7/8), mean plantar pressure (5/5), peak plantar pressure (5/5), and propulsive power (5/5). Conclusion: It seems that peripheral fatigue is very dependent on the individual. Therefore, finding a single biomechanical sub-parameter to identify peripheral fatigue is unrealistic. However, a cluster seems more realistic. Further research needs to be made to verify the reliability of this cluster.
