Running Assessment

Improving your running fitness will take your performance to the next level!

Running Assessments

The Craven SPORT Services 1.5 hour Running Assessment is divided into three portions:

1)  The interview/assessment portion
2)  A treadmill walk/run video analysis portion
3)  Development of a corrective exercise prescription of individualized running specific exercises designed to improve form and function with gains in running efficiency and performance.

1.

The first portion of the session is an initial physical evaluation consisting of a detailed one on one interview discussing current running related problems, past injuries, medical history, present running level and training goals.  A physiotherapy physical assessment follows, with specific attention to global posture and alignment, bio-mechanical evaluation, muscular imbalances and musculoskeletal mobility and extensibility.

2.

The second portion of the running evaluation consists of a video analysis of your walking and running at a variety of speeds.  Running is a highly technical sport, your movement patterns and technique will be assessed with attention to running cadence, stride length, forward lean, vertical displacement, head/arm/trunk movements and overall running mechanics.

3.

The third portion of the running evaluation consists of the development of a corrective exercise prescription consisting of individualized running specific exercises designed to improve form and function with gains in running efficiency and performance.

The goal of this assessment is to:

  • Eliminate reoccurring running pain syndromes

  • Ensure you’re doing everything you can to have a successful training

  • Learn strengthening and flexibility exercises to remain injury free

  • Learn exercises to stabilize ankles, knees and hips

  • Get ideas for injury prevention
