To describe the incidence of injuries and other health problems sustained during participation in a marathon.
A cohort study was undertaken involving the 1993 Auckland Citibank marathon participants. Demographic data and information on injuries and other health problems sustained during, immediately after, and 7 d following the marathon were obtained from a pre-race questionnaire, the medical aid posts, and a post-race questionnaire.
Of the 1219 starters, 916 (75.1%) completed both questionnaires. Seventy five individuals (6.2%) sought assistance at the medical aid posts. During or immediately after the marathon, 283 systemic health problems were reported by 218 respondents (23.8%) and 2671 specific health problems were reported by 846 respondents (92.4%). In the 7 d following the marathon, 1905 specific health problems were reported by 723 respondents (79.2%). The majority of the specific health problems were blisters, stiffness, and pain, predominantly involving the lower limbs.
Although a high proportion of participants experienced health problem during the race, very few of these problems were serious. Many of the entrants were still experiencing problems 7 d after the marathon.
描述参加马拉松比赛期间受伤及其他健康问题的发生率。
对1993年奥克兰花旗银行马拉松赛的参与者进行了一项队列研究。通过赛前问卷、医疗救助站及赛后问卷获取了人口统计学数据以及马拉松比赛期间、赛后即刻和赛后7天内受伤及其他健康问题的信息。
1219名参赛者中，916人（75.1%）完成了两份问卷。75人（6.2%）在医疗救助站寻求帮助。马拉松比赛期间或赛后即刻，218名受访者（23.8%）报告了283个全身性健康问题，846名受访者（92.4%）报告了2671个特定健康问题。马拉松赛后7天内，723名受访者（79.2%）报告了1905个特定健康问题。大多数特定健康问题为水泡、僵硬和疼痛，主要累及下肢。
尽管比赛期间有很大比例的参与者出现健康问题，但其中很少有严重问题。许多参赛者在马拉松赛后7天仍有健康问题。
