Marathon runners experienced more lower extremity musculoskeletal issues than shorter-distance runners. Previous musculoskeletal problems strongly predicted post-race issues, while respiratory symptoms were not elevated post-marathon but were linked to prior symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Marathon running (42 km) is a demanding endurance event.
  • Understanding post-race morbidity is crucial for runner health and injury prevention.
  • Comparison with shorter races (5 km, 10 km) can elucidate marathon-specific risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare musculoskeletal problems and respiratory symptoms between marathon runners and those in shorter races.
  • To identify risk factors for post-race morbidity in marathon participants.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study comparing morbidity in marathoners versus shorter-distance runners on the same race day.
  • Data collected on musculoskeletal problems and respiratory symptoms.
  • Logistic regression analysis to identify associated factors.

Main Results:

  • Male and female marathon runners reported significantly higher rates of lower extremity musculoskeletal problems post-race compared to non-marathoners.
  • Pre-existing lower extremity musculoskeletal problems were the strongest predictor of post-marathon issues.
  • No increased respiratory symptoms were observed in marathoners compared to shorter-distance runners.
  • Recent respiratory symptoms predicted post-race respiratory symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Runners with a history of lower extremity musculoskeletal problems should exercise caution when training for and recovering from marathons.
  • Individuals experiencing recent respiratory symptoms should also be mindful of their preparation and recovery for racing events.
  • Marathon participation is associated with increased risk of lower extremity musculoskeletal problems, but not respiratory symptoms.
