A study of the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms during exercise was carried out on athletes who participated in the recent Enduro event in Dunedin. Of 119 competitors, 70 (59%) responded to our questionnaire and demonstrated a prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms of 81%. Upper gastrointestinal symptoms were noticed in 58% with lower gastrointestinal symptoms, tending to be more severe and significant to the athlete, noticed in 61%. Speculations on the aetiology of these symptoms are included. The demonstrated high prevalence of symptoms during exercise and the relative lack of knowledge in this area provides a fertile ground for further objective research.
一项针对参加了最近在但尼丁举行的耐力赛的运动员在运动期间胃肠道症状患病率的研究开展了。在119名参赛者中，70人（59%）回复了我们的问卷，胃肠道症状患病率为81%。58%的人出现上胃肠道症状，61%的人出现下胃肠道症状，下胃肠道症状对运动员来说往往更严重且更具影响。文中还包括了对这些症状病因的推测。运动期间症状的高患病率以及该领域相对缺乏了解为进一步的客观研究提供了丰富的素材。
