    Summary

    Most running injuries stem from overuse, not biomechanics. This review covers common running injuries, their causes, and treatments, noting non-musculoskeletal factors and questioning running

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Running injuries are common in adults and adolescents.
    • Overuse is identified as the primary cause, with biomechanical factors playing a lesser role.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology of common running injuries is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review common and persistent running injuries in adults and adolescents.
    • To discuss the pathophysiology of tendon injuries, stress fractures, and apophysitis.
    • To propose treatment strategies and review related non-musculoskeletal conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of common and recalcitrant running injuries.
    • Discussion of pathophysiology for specific conditions like tendon injuries and stress fractures.
    • Examination of associated non-musculoskeletal events and controversial topics like osteoarthritis.

    Main Results:

    • Overuse is the predominant cause of running injuries.
    • Tendon injuries, stress fractures, and apophysitis are discussed with proposed treatments.
    • Exercise-associated amenorrhea, chronic fatigue, and depression are reviewed as related conditions.
    • Evidence does not strongly support running as a cause of osteoarthritis.

    Conclusions:

    • Running injuries are primarily due to overuse.
    • Effective treatment strategies should focus on overuse and address related non-musculoskeletal factors.
    • Current evidence does not link long-distance running to osteoarthritis.
    • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs show limited efficacy in managing running injuries.
