| Résumé : | Objective
To investigate whether the proportion of running-related knee injuries differed in normal-weight, overweight, and obese runners.
Design: Comparative study.
Methods
Data from 4 independent prospective studies were merged (2612 participants). The proportion of running-related knee injuries out of the total number of running-related injuries was calculated for normal-weight, overweight, and obese runners, respectively. The measure of association was absolute difference in proportion of running-related knee injuries with normal-weight runners as the reference group.
Results
A total of 571 runners sustained a running-related injury (181 running-related knee injuries and 390 running-related injuries in other anatomical locations). The proportion of running-related knee injuries was 13% lower (95% confidence interval: −22%, −5%; P = .001) among overweight runners compared with normal-weight runners. Similarly, the proportion of running-related knee injuries was 12% lower (95% confidence interval: −23%, −1%; P = .042) among obese runners compared with normal-weight runners.
Conclusion
Overweight and obese runners had a lower proportion of running-related knee injuries than normal-weight runners. | Permalink : | https://bibliotheque.helb-prigogine.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id= |
