To add to the area of triathlon research by providing much needed prevalence data on knee injury in triathletes.
An incidental "in field" sampling technique was used to interview 58 triathletes aged between 15 and 55 years about knee injury during a triathlon event. The sample comprised 46 men and 12 women.
Most knee injuries occurred during the running event (72%) and affected the lateral side of the knee (38%). In all, 78% of the sample sought treatment from a healthcare professional.
The study has provided much needed prevalence data on chronic knee injury in triathletes.
