Hamstring diseases are one of the most widespread diseases in athletes, especially in runners, sprinters, and endurance athletes. Notwithstanding the importance of the problem, risk factors are still marginally known. This transversal study analyzes the correlation between hamstring tendinopathy and hamstring strains and age, gender, weight, height, number of marathons, and impact profile in athletes who took part in the 2019 Rome Marathon.
At the 2019 Marathon of Rome, 700 runners (484 males and 216 females; mean age: 43.6 years, range 17-80 years) filled the VISA-H and FASH questionnaires. an adequately skilled orthopedic surgeon made a diagnosis of hamstring tendinopathy and hamstring strain injuries in line with clinical criteria.
A diagnosis of hamstring tendinopathy was made in 537 participants while in 624 of hamstring strains. There was evidence of a positive correlation statistically significant between age, weight and impact profile with hamstring strain injuries, while there was no association between sex and number of marathons and the hamstring strains. No statistically significant positive correlation was found between all of the parameters analyzed and VISA-H. The association between VISA-H score and FASH score has resulted statistically significant.
In marathon athletes, there was not found evidence of a statistically significant correlation between gender, weight, height, number of marathons, impact profile and hamstring tendinopathy. Nonetheless, age, weight and impact profile were associated with hamstring strains, while sex and number of marathons had not shown statistically significant positive association with hamstring strain injuries.
腘绳肌疾病是运动员中最常见的疾病之一，尤其是在跑步者、短跑运动员和耐力运动员中。尽管这个问题很重要，但风险因素仍知之甚少。这项横断面研究分析了参加 2019 年罗马马拉松的运动员中腘绳肌腱病和腘绳肌拉伤与年龄、性别、体重、身高、马拉松次数和冲击剖面之间的相关性。
在 2019 年罗马马拉松比赛中，700 名跑步者（484 名男性和 216 名女性；平均年龄：43.6 岁，范围 17-80 岁）填写了 VISA-H 和 FASH 问卷。一位熟练的骨科医生根据临床标准对腘绳肌腱病和腘绳肌拉伤做出了诊断。
537 名参与者被诊断为腘绳肌腱病，624 名参与者被诊断为腘绳肌拉伤。年龄、体重和冲击剖面与腘绳肌拉伤之间存在统计学上显著的正相关，而性别和马拉松次数与腘绳肌拉伤之间没有关联。在所有分析的参数与 VISA-H 之间没有发现统计学上显著的正相关。VISA-H 评分和 FASH 评分之间的关联具有统计学意义。
在马拉松运动员中，性别、体重、身高、马拉松次数、冲击剖面与腘绳肌腱病之间没有发现统计学上显著的相关性。然而，年龄、体重和冲击剖面与腘绳肌拉伤有关，而性别和马拉松次数与腘绳肌拉伤之间没有统计学上显著的正相关。
