OBJECTIVES: To determine whether biweekly tailored advice was more effective than general advice at baseline alone for enhancing evidence-based running-related injury (RRI) prevention knowledge and behaviours in runners. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial, blinded statistical analysis, secondary analysis. SETTING: Recreational running clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Running clinics were cluster randomised into intervention or control groups. All participants (n = 51) received general RRI prevention advice (baseline), after which the intervention group (n = 31) received additional biweekly tailored advice (weeks 3 to 11), before all participants completed a Final Questionnaire (week 13). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Between-group differences in change of evidence-based RRI prevention knowledge and behaviours. RESULTS: Compared to baseline, the number of correct knowledge responses significantly increased in the intervention group (5.77, 95% CI 4.73 to 6.81) and remained unchanged in controls (0.25, 95% CI -1.04 to 1.55), outlining a positive effect only in the intervention group (p = 0.0000000206). The number of correct behaviour responses significantly increased in the intervention group (1.94, 95% CI 0.94 to 2.93) however this increase was not significantly greater than controls (p = 0.075). CONCLUSIONS: Biweekly tailored advice improved RRI prevention knowledge in runners. Further research into the impact of knowledge and behavioural change on RRI occurrence is warranted.
