“…In this study, the most common type of injury was a strain (36.4%). This result corroborates the findings of Tyflidis et al (2012) and Junior et al (2013) who identified a strain as the most common type of injury (18.6%) and (30%) respectively. Of the injured participants, 32.9% who described their injury as major were absent from training and competition for 1 to 2 weeks.…”

“…It is recommended that the finding that branded running shoes were not a significant protective factor against developing running-related injuries be analysed in more depth in future research projects. In agreement to the findings of the current study in the univariate analysis, Rauh and Macera (2010) and Tyflidis et al (2012) found that the running season is a significant predictor of developing running-related injuries and more specifically the development of injuries were higher during the competition period of the running season compared to the general preparation phase.…”

“…However, the multivariate analysis indicating that competition frequency was not significantly considered as a contributing factor to the development of running-related injuries in the present study can be blamed on the complexity of effectively counting the time the participants spent running during their individual competition programs organized by their personal managers. In this study, running surface was found to contribute to developing running-related © 2019 University of Alicante injuries which is in agreement with the findings by (Taunton et al, 2003;Tyflidis et al, 2012;van der Worp et al, 2015).…”

“…Both Tyflidis et al (2012) and Saragiotto et al (2014) explained that there is no association between gender and running injuries in most of the studies. Conversely, van der Worp et al 2015reported that women were at a lower risk than men of sustaining running-related injuries.…”

Despite the popularity and health benefits of running, a popular sporting activity performed by many individuals worldwide, runners are at risk of being injured. Of concern is the lack of evidence-based data and information on Ethiopian 10, 000-meter long-distance runners. The purpose of this study was to establish the incidence and the risk factors associated with lower-extremity running-related injuries amongst 10, 000-meter long distance runners in Ethiopia. A prospective study was used over a period of ten months in eleven running clubs and twelve Youth Athletics Training Programs in Amhara Regional State and Addis Ababa. Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire on 1) demographic characteristics; 2) risk factors associates with running-related injuries and, 3) their injury status. Logistic regression analysis and odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated for the predictor variables. The incidence of running-related injury was 62.4%, corresponding to 0.35 injuries per 100 running hours or 3.54 injuries per 1000 running hours. The most commonly injured anatomical site was the knee (33.6%), with a strain the most common type of injury (36.4%). Participants previously injured had an 8.20 higher OR (2.14-31.40). Runners who train respectively 40km-50km (OR = 0.003, 95% CI, 0.000-0.073) and 50km-60km (OR = 0.053, 95% CI, 0.004-0.728) per week and runners that wore running shoes eight to eleven months (OR = 0.033, 95% CI, 0.003-0.392) was significantly associated with a protective benefit against running-related injuries. Runners, coaches, and medical professionals must acknowledge the specific risk factors associated with runningrelated injuries. The results underscore urgent interventions to ensure that 10 000-meter Ethiopian long distance runners become injury free.

“…The similar risk magnitude exists in this sport of high jump where injuries tend to happen in each athlete while jumping. Percentage of the athletes to get injured is very high due to the fallibility of athlete jumping themselves [2]. Accidents, poor training practices, or improper gear can decrease the performance of the athletes.…”
