Globally, running is one of the most popular physical activities among children and adolescents [1]. In England, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a 4.5% increase in the prevalence of 5 to 16 year olds taking part in running, athletics, and multi-sports [2]. Given that participation in running is related to many health benefits in adults [3], increased participation levels in children and adolescents can be considered a positive development. However, participation is also related to adverse outcomes, such as injury [4]. For example, a key finding from my PhD showed that the incidence of injury in competitive adolescent runners was 25.0 per 1,000 hours of exposure [5]. In turn, sustaining an injury may reduce current and future physical activity levels [6]. Despite such a high injury rate, this problem rarely receives attention from policymakers. Sport-related injury is rarely viewed as a public health issue, despite similar injury rates in other areas of social life (e.g., work) being almost certain to receive attention [7].With the above statement in mind, does there not need to be a coordinated and societal agenda to reduce the risk of injury in competitive and recreational adolescent runners - as a fundamental duty of care? Such an agenda would likely improve health-related quality of life across the life course.One possible way to establish such an agenda - as an extension of my PhD - is to explore this problem in relation to social discourses of risk [8]. In short, this means studying how running-related injury is experienced and understood by adolescent runners and how injury risk is (and could be) communicated in the field of Sport and Health Sciences. The broad idea behind this is to seek alternative ways of framing injury risk that do not depend on using a technical-objectivist definition of risk [9], which situates risk as a quantifiable estimate of events [10]. In turn, this will help to ensure that risk reduction measures for adolescent runners accounts for socio-cultural and individual approaches. To address these points, this ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship will enable me to complete the following activities:(1) Write a novel theoretical article exploring how existing sociological theories of risk can be applied to the field of Sport and Health Sciences, in addition to completing data collection for a qualitative study investigating how adolescent runners understand and manage their personal injury risk.(2) Use a longitudinal dataset that I developed during my PhD to publish two articles. The first article will examine whether injury affects the psychological mood states of competitive adolescent runners. The second will explore if sustaining a non-time loss injury affects the subsequent time loss injury risk. These articles will improve our knowledge on how runners can best manage injury and maintain health.(3) Deliver a series of stakeholder workshops to tailor the content and form of pre-existing (as developed for competitive runners during my PhD) injury risk reduction measures for recreational adolescent runners.The completion of these activities, combined with the mentorship of Prof. Wyatt and attendance to a relevant training course, will also allow me to draft a Fellowship proposal to evaluate the effectiveness of applying injury risk reduction measures for recreational adolescent runners in practice.To complement these activities, I will also use this Fellowship to communicate my research findings to a diverse set of audiences. This will include attending two academic conferences, publishing two non-academic outputs, and commissioning a digital storyboard illustration related to the injury risk-reduction measures. I will also build networks to develop collaboration and impact opportunities, including an institutional visit to the Amsterdam Collaboration on Health and Safety in Sport and hosting meetings with key external organisations (e.g., England Athletics).

在全球范围内，跑步是儿童和青少年中最受欢迎的体育活动之一[1]。在英格兰，共同19岁的大流行导致5至16岁的年轻人参与跑步，田径运动和多运动[2]。鉴于参与跑步与成人的许多健康益处有关[3]，因此在儿童和青少年的参与水平提高可以被认为是积极的发展。但是，参与也与不良后果有关，例如伤害[4]。例如，我的博士学位的一个关键发现表明，竞争青春期跑步者的伤害发生率为每1000小时的暴露时间25.0 [5]。反过来，受伤可能会降低当前和未来的身体活动水平[6]。尽管受伤率如此高，但这个问题很少受到决策者的关注。尽管社交生活的其他领域（例如，工作）几乎可以肯定会受到关注[7]，但与运动有关的伤害很少被视为公共卫生问题。这样的议程可能会改善整个生活课程中与健康相关的生活质量。建立这样的议程的一种可能方法 - 作为我的博士学位的扩展 - 是探索与风险社会话语有关的这个问题[8]。简而言之，这意味着研究青少年跑步者如何经历和理解与跑步相关的伤害，以及在体育和健康科学领域进行的伤害风险（并且可以）如何进行。背后的广泛思想是寻求构架伤害风险的替代方法，而这些风险不取决于使用技术对象主义的风险定义[9]，这将风险视为对事件的可量化估计[10]。反过来，这将有助于确保青少年跑步者采取的降低风险措施来解释社会文化和个人方法。为了解决这些要点，这种ESRC博士后奖学金将使我能够完成以下活动：（1）写一篇新颖的理论文章，探索现有的风险社会学理论如何应用于体育和健康科学领域，除了完成数据收集数据，以完成对自然研究的定性研究，以研究他们的人身伤害，以进行个人损害的风险（2），以培训为2）。第一篇文章将研究伤害是否影响竞争性青少年跑步者的心理情绪状态。第二次将探索是否遭受非时损伤会影响随后的时间损失风险。这些文章将提高我们对跑步者如何最好地控制伤害并维持健康的知识。（3）提供一系列利益相关者的研讨会，以量身定制预先存在的内容和形式（如我的博士学位期间为竞争者开发的（如竞争者而开发的），以减少竞争者的伤害风险降低休闲青少年跑步者的措施。允许这些活动的培训，以促进一项培训，以促进一项培训，以使沃特（Wyatt）进行培训。评估在实践中应用降低伤害风险措施的降低伤害风险措施的有效性。为了补充这些活动，我还将使用该奖学金将我的研究结果传达给各种各样的受众。这将包括参加两次学术会议，发布两个非学术成果，并委托与减少伤害风险措施有关的数字故事板插图。我还将建立网络以开发合作和影响机会，包括对阿姆斯特丹在体育和安全安全和与主要外部组织（例如英格兰田径运动）举办会议上的健康与安全合作的机构访问。
