In brief: An 80-item questionnaire was used to study the variations by age and sex in the training habits and injury experience of 688 adult entrants in a 10-mile road race in southern Ontario. The results showed that runners over the age of 30 years tend to train at a slower pace than younger runners. On the average, men trained over somewhat longer distances and at a faster pace than women of the same age, but women ran more times per week. Older athletes tended toward a higher weekly mileage and entered the longer distance races. While 57% of all respondents reported at least one injury during the 12 months preceding our study, there was no significant variation by age or sex.
采用一份包含80个条目的问卷，研究安大略省南部一场10英里公路赛中688名成年参赛者的训练习惯和受伤经历随年龄和性别的变化情况。结果显示，30岁以上的跑步者训练速度往往比年轻跑步者慢。平均而言，同年龄段男性的训练距离更长、速度更快，但女性每周跑步次数更多。年长运动员的每周里程数往往更高，且参加更长距离的比赛。在我们研究前的12个月里，57%的受访者表示至少受过一次伤，但在年龄或性别方面没有显著差异。
