Running Related Injuries: Systematic Review of Risk Factors
A systematic review from 2007 analyzed 17 articles to identify risk factors for running related injuries. Risk factors were categorized into systemic, training, health, and lifestyle factors. The study found that older age, increased mileage over 40 miles a week, and a history of previous injury within the last 12 months were strongly correlated with running injuries, while factors like alcohol use showed smaller connections. Understanding these risk factors can help runners prevent injuries.
