Running is a popular form of physical activity, yet it comes with risks, including running-related injuries (RRIs). This cohort study aimed to use self-reported baseline data on running experience, weekly running frequency, greatest running distance in 1 week, and running program to investigate if certain adult runners were more likely to sustain RRI than others. Runners, aged ≥ 18 years, familiar with the English language and using a Garmin watch to track their running were included. Running data and injury status were collected prospectively through the Garmin Connect application and weekly questionnaires over 18 months. Exposure variables were self-reported running experience (years), weekly running frequency and distance, and use of structured running program (last 3 months before inclusion). The outcome was RRI. Time to event statistics was used to calculate cumulative risk differences (cRD) within groups of each exposure. Data were analyzed at 1000 km (km). A total of 7391 runners were included. The cumulative injury proportion was 57.8% [95% CI: 56.4%; 59.2%] after 1000 km. Those running > 105 km (cRD = -31.6, 95% CI -23.1; -40.1), 7 times per week (cRD = -47.1, 95% CI -35.9; -58.3) and followed a structured running program (cRD = 4.4; 95% CI 0.9; 7.8) had the fewest new RRIs. For running experience, those with few (< 1 years) or many years (> 40 years) of experience had the most RRIs. Runners were more prone to sustain an RRI if they had few (< 1) or many (> 40) years of running experience, lower total weekly running frequency (< 2 times/week), shorter weekly running distance (< 25 km), or did not use a structured running program.
跑步是一种广受欢迎的体育活动形式，但它也存在风险，包括与跑步相关的损伤（RRIs）。这项队列研究旨在利用自我报告的关于跑步经历、每周跑步频率、一周内最长跑步距离以及跑步计划的基线数据，调查某些成年跑步者是否比其他人更易遭受跑步相关损伤。纳入年龄≥18岁、熟悉英语且使用佳明手表追踪跑步的跑步者。通过佳明连接应用程序和为期18个月的每周问卷前瞻性收集跑步数据和损伤状况。暴露变量为自我报告的跑步经历（年）、每周跑步频率和距离，以及结构化跑步计划的使用情况（纳入前最后3个月）。结果为跑步相关损伤。采用事件发生时间统计方法计算各暴露组内的累积风险差异（cRD）。数据在1000公里（km）时进行分析。共纳入7391名跑步者。1000公里后累积损伤比例为57.8%[95%CI：56.4%；59.2%]。每周跑步超过105公里（cRD = -31.6，95%CI -23.1；-40.1）、每周跑7次（cRD = -47.1，95%CI -35.9；-58.3）且遵循结构化跑步计划（cRD = 4.4；95%CI 0.9；7.8）的跑步者新发跑步相关损伤最少。就跑步经历而言，跑步经验少（<1年）或多年（>40年）的跑步者跑步相关损伤最多。如果跑步者跑步经验少（<1年）或多年（>40年）、每周总跑步频率较低（<2次/周）、每周跑步距离较短（<25公里）或未使用结构化跑步计划，则更易遭受跑步相关损伤。
