Abnormal foot morphology has been suggested to contribute to overuse injuries in athletes. This study investigated the relationship between foot type and injury incidence in a large sample of competitive triathletes not wearing foot orthoses during a 6-month retrospective analysis and a 10-week prospective cohort study. Foot alignment was measured using the Foot Posture Index and the Valgus Index, and participants were assigned to supinated, pronated, and normal foot-type groups. Overall, 131 triathletes sustained 155 injuries during the study. Generally, foot type was not a major risk factor for injury; however, there was a fourfold increased risk of overuse injury during the competition season in athletes with a supinated foot type. The results of this study show that triathletes with a supinated foot type are more likely to sustain an overuse injury.
异常的足部形态被认为是导致运动员过度使用损伤的一个因素。本研究通过一项为期6个月的回顾性分析和一项为期10周的前瞻性队列研究，调查了大量不佩戴足部矫形器的竞技铁人三项运动员的足型与损伤发生率之间的关系。使用足部姿势指数和外翻指数测量足部对线情况，并将参与者分为内旋足型、外旋足型和正常足型组。在研究期间，共有131名铁人三项运动员遭受了155次损伤。总体而言，足型并非损伤的主要危险因素；然而，外旋足型的运动员在比赛季节发生过度使用损伤的风险增加了四倍。本研究结果表明，外旋足型的铁人三项运动员更有可能遭受过度使用损伤。
