Running is a widely practiced physical activity with well-established health benefits. However, it is frequently associated with overuse musculoskeletal injuries. Among the modifiable biomechanical variables, increasing cadence, defined as the number of steps per minute, has emerged as a promising target for reducing injury risk by altering impact forces and load distribution. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate and critically appraise the scientific evidence on the effects of running cadence modification on biomechanics and injury prevention in adult runners.
