Analysis of Running-Related<br />
Injuries: The Vienna Study<br />
„Running-related injuries are multifactorial,<br />
associated with personal data,<br />
training load, anatomic malalignments,<br />
and injury history. While it is impossible<br />
to define a one-fits-all formula to reduce<br />
the risk for RRI in general, runners with<br />
a high risk of a specific injury could be<br />
identified based on patient-specific training<br />
profiles and running gaits, as well as<br />
on pre-existing malalignments […], with<br />
their diagnosis leading to an appropriate<br />
and balanced training adaptation.“<br />
Emir Benca<br />
Most injuries related to running training manifest themselves<br />
during the month of March. Knee injuries are particularly common,<br />
and women seem to injure themselves more often than men. This<br />
was the finding of a study conducted by the MedUni Vienna and<br />
the Orthopädiezentrum Innere Stadt using data from Viennese<br />
runners. The study has recently been published in the Journal of<br />
Clinical Medicine.<br />
According to current surveys, running is one of the favorite sport activities<br />
across the globe. Fourteen percent of Austria’s population, age 15 and older,<br />
are running at least once-, while another 17% are running less than once a<br />
week, but still regularly. Despite the well-known health benefits of regular<br />
running exercises, running is associated with running-related injuries (RRI)<br />
with a yearly incidence of up to 79%. Studies suggest 7.7 running-related<br />
injuries for recreational runners, and 17.8 for novice runners per 1,000 hours<br />
of running, and the vast majority of them are related to overuse. The aims of<br />
this study were the presentation of a heterogeneous running population with<br />
running-related injuries, the analysis of a broad range of potential contributing<br />
factors for most common RRIs and their combinations, and the investigation<br />
if different running footwear categories affect injury incidences.<br />

Methods & Data<br />
Using a thorough questionnaire in combination with malalignment and injury<br />
data, a detailed description of a large population with running-related injuries<br />
was presented. The running population is characterized by its heterogeneity, a<br />
long running history, and a detailed description of the training data. The presentation<br />
of the number of injured runners over the months shows a normal distribution<br />
with a peak in March (Figure 1). An increase was observed during the<br />
early winter months. This observation coincides with the onset of the „Vienna<br />
City Marathon“, the largest national running event with over 40,000 participants,<br />
which is held on the second weekend in April each year. While there<br />
is no evidence that participating in long-distance races is associated with<br />
overuse injuries, the presented data suggest that the accompanying increase<br />
in training load must occur incrementally and include regeneration periods.<br />
The observed injuries came exclusively from overuse. 178 patients suffered<br />
from 244 injuries with 44 specific diagnoses, 45 were secondary injuries<br />
to the one and same location. The injuries were mainly located at the knee<br />
(41.2%), followed by the ankle joint (15.0%), and the foot (10.6%). Most<br />
common were the patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) (13.4%), the iliotibial
