Risk factors for running-related injuries: An umbrella systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This umbrella systematic review (SR) of SRs and meta-analysis seeks to comprehensively synthesize existing literature to identify and consolidate the diverse range of risk factors contributing to running-related injuries (RRIs).

Methods

Systematic searches were conducted on June 28, 2023, across Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We included SRs, whether accompanied by meta-analyses or not, that focused on investigating risk factors for RRIs within observational studies. The methodological quality of the SRs was evaluated using the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews II. To assess the extent of overlap across reviews, the corrected covered area metric was calculated.
