Forty-four Chinese male long-distance runners were surveyed regarding their running history, running habits, and injuries, as well as their experience of the "runner's high" phenomenon. The typical runner could be described as single, in his late 20s, well-educated, and running 60 km a week. He was also likely to be controlled and disciplined, not risk-taking, and not oriented intellectually or esthetically. While he was motivated to run to improve his physical health, he derived benefits for his emotional well-being from his running. Implications for the use of running as a therapeutic adjunct are discussed.
对44名中国男性长跑运动员进行了调查，内容涉及他们的跑步历史、跑步习惯、受伤情况以及他们对“跑步者高潮”现象的体验。典型的跑步者可以描述为单身，快30岁，受过良好教育，每周跑60公里。他也可能是有自控力和自律性的，不冒险，在智力或审美方面没有偏好。虽然他跑步的动机是改善身体健康，但跑步也给他的情绪健康带来了益处。文中讨论了将跑步用作辅助治疗手段的意义。
