“…Currently, the marathon is mainly studied from two perspectives. Several studies have considered runners as research subjects and examined the relationship between running a marathon and body functions, as well as the regular patterns [1][2][3][4], psychological impacts [5][6][7] and their cognition [8][9][10][11][12]; while others took competitions as the subject and focused on the sociological aspects, such as entertaining function [13][14][15], fiscal implications [16,17] and marketing and management [18,19]. At present, the studies on Chinese marathons have focused on certain fields, such as physiology [20,21], psychology [22] and sociology [23,24].…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the spatial distribution pattern and influencing factors of the Chinese marathon. Geographic Information System (GIS) related spatial analysis tools were used to calculate the following-averaged nearest neighbor index, nuclear density analysis and hot spot analysis among others. The spatial distribution evolution characteristics and the influencing factors of eighteen Chinese marathon events in 2010, 129 in 2015 and 342 in 2018 were analyzed. The results show that (a) in 2010 the nearest neighbor ratio was 1.164714, Moran's I was −0.010165 (type: Random), in 2015 it was 0.502146, Moran's I was 0.066267 (type: Clustered) and in 2018 it was 0.531149 and Moran's I was 0.083485 (type: Clustered); (b) in 2010 there was a 333.6 km search radius; the core circle of the Yangtze River Delta was adopted. In 2015 and 2018, a search radius of 556 km was adopted, which was respectively obtained from the core circle of the Yangtze River Delta, the core circle of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the core circle of East China; (c) according to the Z-value data, East China and North China in 2015 passed 95% confidence in five provinces and municipal hot spots, passed 90% confidence in three hot spots and passed 95% confidence in Chongqing Cold Point. In 2018, East China, North China, Central Region and eight other provinces and cities' hot spots passed 95% confidence, four hot spots passed 90% confidence, the Tibet Autonomous Region cold spot passed 90% confidence. Conclusion: The overall distribution of marathon events is greater in the eastern region than the western region, greater in the southern region than the northern region and greater in coastal regions than the inland regions; the nuclear density distribution has spread from the Yangtze River Delta mononuclear circle in 2010 to the core circle of the entire East China region. Moreover, it spread to North China, Central China and South China; the distribution of hot spots spread from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the entire North China and East China regions. During the past thirty-eight years of development of the Chinese marathon, it has been divided into three stages due to different political, economic and social environments.

“…It can be said that very little is known about the relationship between years of training and athletes' participation motivations. Moreover, the update of the MOMS research tool has been presented [41]; however, it has never been adapted in many countries. Poland, for instance.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate if years of running experience influence the motivations of marathon athletes. An empirical study was conducted during the last (20th) PKO Poznan Marathon, one of the largest and most popular mass running events in Poland, which was held in Poznan (Poland) in October 2019. A total of 493 marathon runners (29% of whom were female, and 71% of whom were male) took part in the cross-sectional study, which used the diagnostic survey method. The questionnaire employed the division of motives from the motivation of marathoners scale (MOMS) by Masters et al., adapted to the Polish language by Dybala. Running motivations have already been analysed for variables such as age, gender and place of residence, but there is a research gap regarding existing research, as the relationship between motivations and running experience has not yet been studied. One-way analysis of variance for independent samples was used to verify statistical hypotheses. Prior to making the relevant calculations, the assumption of homogeneity of variance was checked via Levene’s test. Variances were assessed with an F-test, and if they were unequal, Welch’s correction was applied. Eta squared (η2) was used as a measure of effect size. The calculations carried out showed that running experience was not a statistically significant factor in the motivations of runners taking part in a marathon.

“…Lendrum, pudo constatar también que las mujeres que forman parte en estos eventos experimentan restricciones de género y sentimientos de culpa asociados con su participación en el deporte. Por su parte, Zach, Xia, Zeev, Arnon, Choresh y Tenenbaum (2015), probaron y ampliaron el modelo Motivation of Marathoners Scale (MOMS) con el fin de examinar la evidencia para lograr la mejor solución respecto a la validación transcultural del modelo, distribuyéndolo a 306 corredores de maratón masculinos y femeninos con una edad entre 20-77 años y que hubiesen corrido ya algún maratón. Después de realizar los pertinentes análisis factoriales exploratorias y confirmatorias, se demostró que la solidez psicométrica del nuevo modelo MOMS no sólo supera al modelo anterior, sino que también demuestra esencialmente lo que el primero no pudo hacer.…”

RESUMEN:El fenómeno del running ha sido y continúa siendo uno de los deportes que más adeptos ha conseguido captar en los últimos años, ya que son muchas las personas que de manera regular salen a la calle día tras día a correr. Esta práctica deportiva se ha convertido en un comportamiento habitual en nuestra sociedad al ser considerado como una de las mejores actividades para mantener y mejorar la salud física, mental y psicosocial. El problema surge cuando correr se convierte en una necesidad perjudicial, provocando consecuencias negativas para la salud y dando lugar a lo que se conoce como Adicción al Ejercicio -"adicción positiva (APC); actividad agradable que genera un placer extremo" y "adicción negativa (ANC); cuando la vida de una persona se rige por esta actividad"-. Ante esta situación, el objetivo de este trabajo es conocer el estado actual de las investigaciones sobre adicción al ejercicio, centrándonos en el "running". La búsqueda de artículos se realizó en las bases de datos Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science y EBSCOhost utilizando combinaciones de las palabras clave: "deporte", "running", "correr", "adicción", "dependencia", "marathon". Los principales resultados indican que la adicción al deporte podría incluirse dentro de la categoría de los trastornos de la conducta, ya que cumple con la gran mayoría de los criterios diagnósticos y sobre todo por las graves consecuencias que esta puede ocasionar en el día a día de quienes la sufren. Por último, proponemos unas recomendaciones aplicadas que según nuestro criterio pueden tenerse en cuenta como soluciones y alternativas para aumentar el número de personas que se aprovechan de todos los beneficios de la práctica deportiva regular. PALABRAS CLAVES:Running, adicción, deporte, salud, revisión.Addiction to running: a review from its beginnings to the present day ABSTRACT: Running has been and continues to be one of the sports which have attracted more recruits in recent years. Thousands of people run every day in the streets, parks, etc. Running has become a usual behavior in our society, as it is considered one of the best activities to maintain and improve physical, psychological, and psychosocial health. The problem appears when running becomes a harmful need and has negative consequences for health, leading to the so-called exercise addiction -"positive addiction (PAR); an enjoyable activity which causes an extreme pleasure", and "negative addiction (NAR), which occurs when the activity controls the life of a person". The main objective of this study was to ascertain the current state of research on exercise addiction, with a special focus on running. A literature search suggested that we are facing a phenomenon that meets most of the criteria to be considered as a behavioral disorder. However, additional research is needed to be able to better understand and, above all, to continue to answer the multiple questions related to its manifestation. The literature search was carried out in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCOhost databases using com...
