N2  - OBJECTIVES: To investigate (1) the cumulative incidence proportion and the most  common anatomical locations of running-related injuries in recreational runners, and  (2) the associations between running-related injuries and previous injury, running  experience, weekly running distance, age, gender and body mass index (BMI). <br><br>DESIGN:  A one-year prospective cohort study. <br><br>METHODS: 224 recreational runners (average of  15km weekly running distance for the past 12 months) were included (89 women, 135  men). Pain information was reported weekly for one year and all running-related  injuries with time-loss or requiring medical consultation were recorded. We  accounted for censoring when calculating cumulative incidence proportion, and used  crude Cox proportional hazards regression to evaluate if the variables of interest  were associated with running-related injuries. <br><br>RESULTS: The one-year cumulative  incidence proportion of running-related injuries was 46% (95% CI: 38.4-54.1). The  most common anatomical locations were the knee (20 of 75, 27%) and Achilles  tendon/calf (19 of 75, 25%). Previous injury was associated with a higher injury  rate (hazard ratio: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.2-3.2), while the other variables had no  statistically significant association with injury. <br><br>CONCLUSION: There were 75  running-related injuries during the one-year surveillance period for a cumulative  incidence proportion of 46%. The most common injuries were to the knee and Achilles  tendon/calf. Recreational runners with a previous injury were twice as likely to  sustain a running-related injury than runners with no previous injury.
