“…The incidence of knee joint pain in runners is intricately linked to the overall condition of the kinetic chain in the lower limb. Any deviation from the biomechanical norm in the foot, ankle joint, and hip introduces heightened stress to the knee joint [11]. Notably, there needs to be more comprehensive research identifying factors that predispose individuals to musculoskeletal injuries, coupled with an evaluation of the specific locations most susceptible to common types of overload disorders attributed to running.…”

Background: Running, as a key contributor to overall health, enhances performance, fortifies muscles, and aids in maintaining a healthy body weight. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that, akin to any physical activity, running entails a particular risk of injury, particularly affecting the lower extremities. Aims:The study aimed to identify factors predisposing to musculoskeletal injuries and their most common locations among amateur runners. Material and methods:A comprehensive study was conducted involving 116 amateur long-distance runners aged 18 to 69 years. The research utilized three distinct questionnaires to gather valuable insights into the runners' musculoskeletal health and training experiences. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) provided a systematic assessment of musculoskeletal discomfort and symptoms, while the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Questionnaire (OSTRCQ) focused on gathering data related to sports-related injuries. A self-report questionnaire was also employed to delve into individual perspectives and subjective experiences.
