Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Description of questions of long distance runners about running (a marathon or half marathon). These descriptions will be classified per theme (preparation, the race itself and recovery period) and different domains (nutrition, fluid intake, injury prevention, excersise associated muscle cramps (EAMC), training etc.).
Secondary outcome
Not applicable
Background summary
Rationale: In the Netherlands there are an estimated 2,4 million recreational runners. Every year, 14.000 runners participate in the Rotterdam Marathon event. We presume that these runners have various medical or other running-related questions regarding their preparation for the race, the race itself and the recovery period. However, we don’t know exactly which questions occupy runners.
Objective: The objective of this study is to identifying unanswered (research) questions amongst long distance runners. We intend to use this information to initiate meaningful research on the topics most relevant to long distance runners.
Study design: We will conduct an observational study amongst all participants of the Rotterdam Marathon event in 2019 using an online questionnaire.
Study population: Participants of the Rotterdam Marathon event 2019, aged 18 years or above.
Main study parameters/endpoints: Descriptive information of what questions long distance runners have about running (a marathon or half marathon). Classified on theme (e.g. preparation, the race itself and recovery period) and different domains (e.g. nutrition, fluid intake, injury prevention, training).
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There is no risk in participating in the study and the burden will be low. It will take 5 minutes to complete the online questionnaire.
Study objective
We expect most questions to be about prevention and emergency care during running events.
