https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2022.11288 - the missing link in running injury research is non-running stress. It seems DashLX is one solution to start acquiring more of what consumers are doing, why, and that has great implications for research but also for brands to better understand their consumers. Using wearable technology data to explain recreational running injury: A prospective longitudinal feasibility study. Collaboration with the U Essex (Neal, Bramah, McCarthy-Ryan, Moore, Na...
