Within the last decade, running has become one of the most popular physicalactivities in the world. Although the benefits of running are numerous, thereis a risk of Running Related Injuries (RRI) of the lower extremities.Electromyography (EMG) techniques have previously been used to study causes ofRRIs, but the complexity of this technology limits its use to a laboratorysetting. As running is primarily an outdoors activity, this lack of technologyacts as a barrier to the study of RRIs in natural environments. This studypresents a minimally invasive wearable muscle sensing device consisting ofjogging leggings with embroidered surface EMG (sEMG) electrodes capable ofrecording muscle activity data of the quadriceps group. To test the use of thedevice, a proof of concept study consisting of $N=2$ runners performing a setof $5km$ running trials is presented in which the effect of running surfaces onmuscle fatigue, a potential cause of RRIs, is evaluated. Results show thatmuscle fatigue can be analysed from the sEMG data obtained through the wearabledevice, and that running on soft surfaces (such as sand) may increase thelikelihood of suffering from RRIs.
