We aim to educate both students and the community on best practices for running and running health. Richmond is recognized as one of the most Runner-Friendly cities in the U.S. and it’s our goal to keep our runners healthy and RUN BETTER. Our current studies are focused on hip strength and function in middle-aged female runners, older male runners, motor control in injured runners, energetics during uphill and downhill running and knee loads and function in individuals with knee OA.
