Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameter is the occurrence of a running related injury (RRI)
and the incidence and exposure time. Definition of an RRI in this study is;
running related musculoskeletal ailment of the lower extremity or back, causing
a restriction of running for at least one week.
Secondary outcome
Secondary parameters are the demographic and anthropometric data, physical and
mental health status, physical activity level, previous physical activities,
medical history and motivation for exercise. With regard to RRIs, data on
absence and treatment will be collected.
Background summary
Running is the most popular sport and its popularity is still increasing. Only
in the Netherlands, over 2 million people can be regarded as runners. This,
however, also results in a huge amount of injuries. Every year, about 390.000
running injuries occur in these runners, of which approximately 120.000 (30.8%)
are medically treated. The injury risk of running is more than 2 times higher
compared to the average of other types of sport. Especially novice runners are
at a high risk for injuries: more than 20% of the novice runners develop a
running injury in the first weeks after they started running. This study aims
to identify risk factors for the development of (specific) running related
injuries. In this manner, in the future, preventive measures could be taken.
Study objective
To identify risk factors for injuries in novice runners, and to identify risk
factors for specific injuries.
Secondary Objective(s):
1. To determine the incidence of running related injuries in novice runners
2. To describe the health benefits of the novice runners participating in the
start-to-run projects
3. To determine reasons for discontinuation of the STR program and factors
related to this discontinuation
4. To identify the course, medical consumption of injured players and the
associated and costs
