Over the past two decades, some documentation suggests potential advantages of resistance training for both competitive and recreational runners. There are observations of enhanced muscle strength and power, increased muscle mass, and potential improvements in athletic performance among individuals who engage in resistance training regimens. Additionally, there is suggestive evidence hinting that resistance training might have a role in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, with the possibility of mitigating their severity.
However, direct studies quantifying the exact reduction in injury rates due to resistance training are relatively scarce. Nonetheless, the physiological adaptations induced by such training on bone, connective tissue, and muscle imply a potential enhancement in injury resilience for those participating in such programs.
