Eric previously joined us in Episode 186 to dive into return-to-running principles. Today, he’s back to explore one of the hardest and most misunderstood topics in running science: Can we actually predict running injuries? If so, how? And what should runners do with that information? Using insights from his 3-year prospective cohort study, Eric walks us through what physical performance tests can and cannot tell us about injury risk—and why simple movement screens like single-leg squats may be more powerful than we ever realised. We also dive into psychosocial risk factors, early warning signs, modern wearable data, and why injury prediction research is evolving rapidly. What This Episode Covers Why Eric designed a study to challenge the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) The 15 bodyweight performance tests studied across 360 athletes Which movement patterns actually mattered for overuse injuries The shocking finding: when motor control was considered, past injury stopped predicting future injury Why weak glute medius and poor ankle mobility show up repeatedly in injured runners How poor movement gives you “less wiggle room” before overload Why injury prediction today is no longer just movement → injury, but a multifactorial real-time model The four early warning signs o…","meta_description":"Learn more about Brodie's Research Database & AI Assistant 📄🔍 For MORE Run Smarter Resources 🏃‍♂️📚 - Including Free Injury Prevention Courses 🩹🎓 - The…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3815,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-run-smarter-podcast-530646/episodes/re-run-predicting-future-injuries-early-detection-with-eric-hegedus-feb-2022/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-run-smarter-podcast-530646/re-run-predicting-future-injuries-early-detection-with-eric-hegedus-feb-2022.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
