The number of masters females that choose long-distance running as a form of exercise is growing exponentially. As clinicians working with these athletes, it is important to understand their training habits and how these habits relate to running related injuries (RRI).
The primary aim of this study was to identify the training behaviors and cross training engagement in masters female runners. A secondary aim was to determine RRI rates and their relationship to training behaviors.
A 31-question online survey was completed by 68 masters females aged 45 and older. Answers from 18 of the 31 questions were used to address the specific aims of the study. Descriptive variables and Chi Square analyses were used to synthesize the data.
The majority of the cohort ran less than 30 miles week distributed over three days/week. Most participated in cross-training activity that included strength training, cycling, and swimming. Injury was prevalent in this group of runners with many experiencing more than one RRI over their running history. The area of the hip and gluteal region was the most common site of injury.
This cohort of runners trained in a relatively smart manner, with a moderate volume of running mileage, and utilization of cross-training. Many had experienced some form of injury that halted their running for a period of time.

选择长跑作为锻炼方式的成年女性数量呈指数级增长。作为与这些运动员合作的临床医生，了解她们的训练习惯以及这些习惯与跑步相关损伤（RRI）之间的关系非常重要。
本研究的主要目的是确定成年女性跑步者的训练行为和交叉训练参与情况。次要目的是确定RRI发生率及其与训练行为的关系。
68名年龄在45岁及以上的成年女性完成了一项包含31个问题的在线调查。31个问题中的18个问题的答案用于解决研究的特定目的。使用描述性变量和卡方分析对数据进行综合分析。
大多数参与者每周跑步里程少于30英里，分布在每周三天。大多数人参与了包括力量训练、骑自行车和游泳在内的交叉训练活动。这组跑步者中受伤情况很普遍，许多人在跑步生涯中经历过不止一次RRI。髋部和臀部区域是最常见的受伤部位。
这组跑步者的训练方式相对明智，跑步里程适中，并进行交叉训练。许多人经历过某种形式的损伤，导致她们有一段时间无法跑步。
