Music-based biofeedback to reduce tibial shock in over-ground running: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Methods to reduce impact in distance runners have been proposed based on real-time auditory feedback of tibial acceleration. These methods were developed using treadmill running. In this study, we extend these methods to a more natural environment with a proof-of-concept. We selected ten ru...
