Overview of Running Injuries[edit | edit source]

Lower extremity running-related injuries range from 19.4 to 79.3 percent[1]. The most common injnuries are[2]:

Hamstrings and calf problems were reported by men marathon runners, while hip pain problems were common among women[3]. Most of these injuries have a high recurrence rates.

A 2015 systematic review[4] of 15 studies identified different risk factors for women and men:

Women Men
Age History of previous injury
History of previous sports activity Running experience for 2 years
running on a concrete surface History of previous injury
Participating in a marathon Average weekly running distance (20–29 miles)
weekly running distance (30–39 miles)
wearing running shoes for 4 to 6 months
