To investigate health-related factors associated with self-rated race performance outcomes among recreational long-distance runners.
Panel study.
Data were collected from runners one month before and after a community-level race event including distances from 8 to 42.2 km. The primary outcome measure was self-rated race performance outcome. The explanatory variables represented health complaints suffered during the build-up year, the pre-race month, and the race and among full marathon runners predicted objective performance outcome (mean pace equal to training pace or faster). Multiple logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with the self-rated performance outcome.
Two-hundred forty-five runners (29%) provided complete data sets. Seventy-four percent of the runners reached their desired race performance outcome. Achievement of the performance outcome was more likely when having avoided illness during the build-up and pre-race periods (OR = 3.8; 95% CI:1.8-8.0, p < 0.001), having avoided per-race injury (OR=3.0; 95% CI:1.2-7.4, p = 0.02) and avoided per-race illness (OR = 4.1; 95% CI:1.3-15, p = 0.020). Having obtained the self-rated performance outcome was also associated with running a shorter distance (OR=3.6; 95% CI: 1.7-8.0, p = 0.001) and being younger than 50 years of age (OR = 2.4; 95% CI:1.1-5.3-8.3, p = 0.03). Having met the predicted objective performance outcome predisposed marathon runners to also obtain the self-rated performance outcome (OR = 4.7, 95% CI: 1.5-16, p < 0.01).
Having avoided illness during build-up and pre-race was positively associated with self-rated race performance outcome among recreational runners. Adjusting the desired performance outcomes with regard to recent illness and age may help recreational runners to more often achieve their goals and thereby prevent them from leaving the sport.
调查与休闲长跑运动员自我评定比赛成绩相关的健康因素。
面板研究。
数据来自于在社区级比赛前一个月和比赛后一个月收集的，比赛距离从 8 公里到 42.2 公里不等。主要结局测量指标是自我评定的比赛成绩。解释变量代表了在备战年、赛前月和比赛期间发生的健康问题，而对于全程马拉松运动员，预测目标成绩（平均配速等于或快于训练配速）。使用多因素逻辑回归来确定与自我评定成绩相关的因素。
245 名跑步者（29%）提供了完整的数据。74%的跑步者达到了他们期望的比赛成绩。在备战和赛前期间没有患病（OR=3.8；95%CI：1.8-8.0，p<0.001）、没有在比赛期间受伤（OR=3.0；95%CI：1.2-7.4，p=0.02）和没有在比赛期间患病（OR=4.1；95%CI：1.3-15，p=0.020）的情况下，更有可能达到比赛成绩。获得自我评定成绩也与跑较短的距离有关（OR=3.6；95%CI：1.7-8.0，p=0.001）和年龄小于 50 岁有关（OR=2.4；95%CI：1.1-5.3-8.3，p=0.03）。达到预测的目标成绩使马拉松运动员更有可能获得自我评定的成绩（OR=4.7，95%CI：1.5-16，p<0.01）。
在备战和赛前期间避免患病与休闲跑步者的自我评定比赛成绩呈正相关。根据最近的疾病和年龄调整期望的成绩可能有助于休闲跑步者更经常地实现他们的目标，从而防止他们退出运动。
