Can a Modified Y-Balance Test Predict Running Overuse Injuries over the Course of a Division I Collegiate Cross-Country Season?

# Background Collegiate distance runners often suffer from running overuse injuries (ROI). The Y-Balance Test (YBT) has the potential to predict ROI risk in collegiate runners. # Purpose To investigate whether a preseason clinical assessment of dynamic balance, through a modified version of the Y...

The Y-Balance Test (YBT) has the potential to predict ROI risk in collegiate runners. # Purpose To investigate whether a preseason clinical assessment of dynamic balance, through a modified version of the YBT (mYBT), can predict risk of ROIs during one NCAA Division I cross-country (XC) season. # Study Design Prospective case-control study # Methods Participants from a Division I XC team were screened for mYBT performance in four directions: anterior (AN), posteromedial (PM), posterolateral (PL), and posterior (PO). ROIs were tracked over the course of the XC season.
