Highlights
For both ultramarathoners and non-ultramarathoners, the knee and ankle regions had the highest incidence proportion of injuries.
There was no significant difference in injury incidence proportions by anatomic location between ultramarathoners and non-ultramarathoners.
For non-ultramarathoners, ankle sprains were in the top 5 injury incidence proportions but were not in the top 5 injury prevalence proportions.
Achilles tendinopathy and medial tibial stress syndrome had the highest incidence proportions in non-ultramarathoners.
Anterior compartment syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome and Achilles tendinopathy had the highest incidence proportions in ultramarathoners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
