Running injury prevention plan

Research shows that good movement patterns as well as strength and control are key elements for safe running and sports injury prevention.

Research-based injury prevention plan

Gain full strength and control

The workout intensities increase as you progress to gain full strength and control. The app helps you progress correctly by setting clear targets at each stage. 

In this stage, you'll improve how you move in stable positions and gain base-level strength. It usually takes 6 weeks of regular strength training to achieve this. 

Base strength and control

For the next 6 weeks, continue to build your overall strength, focusing on faster eccentric muscle loading. These exercises are dynamic and require more balance and control.

Strength and control with movement

This stage helps you maintain strength while developing control during more challenging exercises and including plyometrics. The aim is to strength train regularly.

Regain full strength in your Achilles tendon

The right combination of rest and exercise tailored to you individually is the most crucial intervention to manage your insertional Achilles tendinopathy.

In this stage, the app will help you to carefully test what exercises your Achilles tendon can currently support and then build on that base.

Find your baseline

Prepare your Achilles tendon and calf muscles for heavy strength training by building your endurance using bodyweight exercises.

Build your base strength

Continue strength training to floor level only until you can do your exercises with weights equal to 10% of your body weight.

Build tendon capacity

Work on gaining enough strength to do explosive exercises needed for running.

Prep for plyometrics

This stage includes plyometric exercises (hop sessions). Restore your calf’s ability to generate explosive forces, and your Achilles tendon’s ability to absorb these forces.

Build explosive strength

Your Achilles tendon is now finally ready for you to ease back into running. The safest way to do this is by following a program that allows you to alternate between running and walking.

Return to running

Regain your Achilles tendon's and leg muscles' pre-injury running endurance, and slowly increase your running volume. Max. 10% increase per week to avoid re-injury. 

Build easy run endurance

You can now start training with increasing speed and intensity. However, remember not to ramp things up too quickly. Always allow enough recovery time.

We guide you safely from when you first sprain your ankle to a full return to running.

Research shows that most people can manage their ankle sprains well with a conservative rehab plan incorporating rest, mobility, and strengthening exercises.

Start your ankle sprain treatment plan today. The first 7 days are free.
Afterward, you can choose between 1-month, 3-month, or 6-month access to all rehab plans in the Exakt Health app.

In the first 72 hours allow your injury to settle. Follow the PRICE regime to decrease swelling and pain. Only do gentle movements.

Let it settle

Start building strength in the muscles that support your ankle and improve your range of movement. Avoid jumping and running activities at this stage.

Start gentle exercise

The focus is now on restoring your ankle's position sense while continuing to build strength. It's advisable to still avoid running and jumping activities. 

Restore base function

In this stage, you will build the dynamic control and explosive strength you need to safely start light running activities later. Don't yet go back to running.

Develop dynamic control

You can now start a return to running program. Your leg workouts will reduce to twice a week, allowing enough recovery time as your running volume increases. 

The focus is now on regaining your previous running endurance. Be careful on uneven terrain and avoid high-intensity running at this stage still.

You can start training with increasing speed and intensity. Continue your weekly strength and control workouts to help prevent re-injury.

To prepare your plantar fascia for the enormous forces loads of standing, walking, running, and jumping, it’s also essential to incorporate heavy strength training in your rehab.

Build load bearing capacity

The safest way to ease back into running is by following a program that alternates short running and walking intervals. The app guides you through this process.

Regain your previous running endurance in your plantar fascia and leg muscles. Be careful not to increase your running volumes and frequency too quickly.

Now is the time to start training with increasing speed and intensity. It’s usually best to start with just once a week and ease into it.
