520 |a <p>Background: Injuries occurring while running barefoot and shod has been a topic of concern for a long time due to the increased interest in recreational running. This research focused on the ankle and foot complex injuries in shod and barefoot running groups. The objective was to find the pattern of ankle and foot complex injuries and if any other aspects such as type of running or the frequency of training for marathons affect the occurrence of injuries.</p><p>Methodology: 100 participants (83 shod and 17 barefoot) between the age of 18-60 years filled a self-made questionnaire on ankle and foot related injuries via electronic medium (Google form).</p><p>Results: Plantar fasciitis, ankle sprain and peroneal tendinitis are the most common injuries in the ankle and foot complex. This can be attributed to by the reduced training frequency leading to ankle sprain and peroneal tendinitis. Majority participants were found to have a rearfoot strike pattern attributing to an increased risk of plantar fasciitis.</p><p>Conclusion: Ankle sprain, plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendonitis, flat feet and metatarsal stress fractures are most commonly occurring. More research on this topic is encouraged with objective measurements.</p>
