Jogging has grown over the past decade into the largest mass participation sport. It requires no special skills and attracts a variety of people, some with past medical problems, others with just a competitive spirit that may lead to medical or orthopaedic problems. If carried out cautiously and thoughtfully the hazards are few and the sense of well being derived from improved physical fitness is great. The general practitioner, whatever his views on jogging, will be called upon to advise and treat joggers and an awareness of the benefits as well as the hazards is essential.
在过去十年中，慢跑已发展成为参与人数最多的大众运动。它不需要特殊技能，吸引了各种各样的人，有些人有既往病史，另一些人则仅仅是出于竞争精神，而这可能会导致医疗或骨科问题。如果谨慎且周全地进行慢跑，风险很小，而且因身体素质改善而产生的幸福感很强。无论全科医生对慢跑持何种看法，都将被要求为慢跑者提供建议和治疗，因此了解其益处和风险至关重要。
