The Relationship Between Isotonic Plantar Flexor Endurance, Navicular Drop, and Exercise-Related Leg Pain in a Cohort of Collegiate Cross-Country Runners

Exercise-related leg pain is a common occurrence in competitive and recreational runners. The identification of factors contributing to the development of ERLP may help guide methods for the prevention and management of overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between isotonic ankle joint plantar flexor endurance (PFE), foot pronation, and exercise-related leg pain (ERLP).
