Why changing running shoes could triple your injury risk

The article from MSN discusses a study that suggests changing running shoes frequently could significantly increase the risk of injury for runners. The research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that runners who frequently switched their running shoes were three times more likely to suffer from injuries compared to those who stuck with the same pair. The study attributes this increased risk to the need for the body to adapt to different shoe characteristics like cushioning, support, and fit, which can disrupt the runner's biomechanics. It recommends that runners should find a shoe that suits their running style and stick with it to minimize injury risk, rather than constantly seeking new models or brands. However, the article also notes that while shoe consistency might reduce injury risk, other factors like training volume, intensity, and individual biomechanics also play crucial roles in injury prevention.
