OnTracx product launch event: celebrating new advancements in running (re-)injury prevention
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.
Three important speakers attended our event. Their thoughts added great value to the occasion, making it even more meaningful. We were honored to welcome Julie Daelman, Sofie Bracke and Dieter Deforce as speakers for the event. Their expertise and perspectives on the importance of the product and the surrounding ecosystem within the health and running industry were very interesting.
Their contributions and the presence of all who attended, made the event truly remarkable. We want to thank all the people who came to the event and played a part in bringing this vision to life.
As we look ahead, we are excited about the possibilities that OnTracx holds. With its potential to prevent injuries and enhance performance, many runners will hopefully benefit from it. The wearable band worn around the lower leg measures the load on the bones, joints and tendons. Consequently, runners and joggers can learn more about their bodies and adjust their behaviors accordingly, making it more than just a technological advancement.
While there’s still a lot of work to be done, it was a day to be proud of and a start of a promising era in running injury prevention and rehabilitation. Two fields and adjacent markets in which we truly want to become one of the most respected players.
Ghent University spin-off OnTracx launches innovative tool for prevention and rehabilitation of running injuries
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.
Prevent overuse injuries in running by managing the load on muscles & bones
Fancy gadgets and miracle supplements won’t prevent injuries. Science is clear: safe training progression based on mechanical load data is key. Learn how running style, speed, surfaces, and footwear selection affect your body's load & how to track it with validated wearables.
Breakdown of common training errors that may lead to running injuries and how to prevent them
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.
Why the 10% rule fails as a preventive measure for running-related injuries
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.
