A survey of 707 participants in the 13th Annual Trail's End Marathon in Seaside, Oregon, showed a high incidence of gastrointestinal disturbances, predominantly of the lower tract, associated with long-distance running. The urge to defecate, both during and immediately after running, occurred in over a third of runners. Bowel movements (35%) and diarrhea (19%) were relatively common after running, and runners occasionally interrupted hard runs or races for bowel movements (18%) or diarrhea (10%). Lower gastrointestinal disturbances were more frequent in women than in men and in younger than in older runners. Awareness of the frequency and nature of gastrointestinal symptoms documented by this survey will assist physicians in evaluating abdominal complaints in runners.
一项针对俄勒冈州锡赛德市第13届年度径赛终点马拉松赛707名参与者的调查显示，与长跑相关的胃肠道紊乱发生率很高，主要发生在下消化道。超过三分之一的跑步者在跑步期间及跑步后立即出现便意。跑步后排便（35%）和腹泻（19%）较为常见，跑步者偶尔会因排便（18%）或腹泻（10%）而中断高强度跑步或比赛。下消化道紊乱在女性中比男性更频繁，在年轻跑步者中比年长跑步者更频繁。本次调查记录的胃肠道症状的频率和性质，将有助于医生评估跑步者的腹部不适。
