Abstract

Background: Although runners are healthier than most of the population, they can incur a risk of injury. Literature shows a strong evidence of risk factors for running-related injuries (RRIs) based on characteristics of running. This study aimed to assess differences in psychosocial factors between injured and uninjured recreational runners.

Methods: The study was designed as a 1-year prospective study with 108 participants (age 36.3±8.4y). The primary outcome was the incidence of RRIs at 1-year follow-up. The primary exposure variables were running-related characteristics and psychosocial factors assessed upon entry into the study. The differences between injured and uninjured runners were assessed using Mann-Whitney U Test, independent samples t-test and the effect size was assessed by Cohen's d.

Results: No statistically significant differences were observed between injured and uninjured runners in relation to the psychosocial factors examined.

Conclusions: However, it is noteworthy that we identified medium-sized effects for the amount of sleep (d=0.46) and restless sleep (d=0.43), providing a basis for future research with larger sample sizes and more refined measures of sleep patterns to elucidate the potential role of sleep in RRIs.

心理社会因素和跑步相关伤害:基于一项为期一年的前瞻性研究,揭示了两者之间的联系。
背景:尽管跑步者比大多数人更健康,但他们也有受伤的风险。文献显示了基于跑步特征的跑步相关损伤(RRIs)的危险因素的有力证据。本研究旨在评估受伤和未受伤的休闲跑步者在心理社会因素上的差异。方法:研究设计为1年前瞻性研究,108名参与者(年龄36.3±8.4岁)。主要终点是1年随访时的RRIs发生率。主要暴露变量是在进入研究时评估的跑步相关特征和社会心理因素。采用Mann-Whitney U检验、独立样本t检验和Cohen’s d评估效应量。结果:受伤和未受伤的跑步者在心理社会因素方面无统计学差异。结论:然而,值得注意的是,我们确定了中等程度的睡眠量(d=0.46)和不安稳睡眠(d=0.43)的影响,为未来更大样本量的研究和更精细的睡眠模式测量提供了基础,以阐明睡眠在RRIs中的潜在作用。
