Up to 79% of runners get injured at some point, often due to training errors. A high number of these injuries could be avoided with the right training adjustments using wearable technology for an individualized approach to load management. In this article, we’ll break down common training errors, their impact, and how to prevent them.

Learn how Dries, a marathon runner, overcame jumper’s knee with OnTracx. Discover how tracking muscle and bone load helped him train smarter, prevent injuries, and safely prepare for his next marathon.

Avoiding injuries is key in running. The "10 percent rule" advises increasing weekly running mileage or duration by no more than 10 percent to avoid overuse injuries, but research questions its effectiveness. This article explores its flaws and the need for a personalized approach to prevent injuries.

April 23th was marked as an important milestone for OnTracx as we revealed our newest innovation to the world. Months of research, hard work and passion resulted in a moment we eagerly waited for, the launch of our product.

More than half of all runners experience overloading at least once a year, resulting in painful joints or tendons. With OnTracx, the wearable and app from Ghent University’s new spin-off, you can now easily measure your load and thus reduce the risk of injury, or speed up rehabilitation.

Exercise programs are often recommended to reduce the risk of injuries, but not all exercise methods are equally effective. This article explores if & how exercise programs can prevent injuries in long-distance running, the importance of supervision, and actionable tips to enhance your running journey while staying injury-free.
