Exercise-Induced Tendon and Bone Injury in Recreational Runners: A Test-Retest Reliability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-distance runners are prone to injuries including Achilles tendinopathy and medial tibial stress syndrome. We have developed an Internet comprehensive self-report questionnaire examining the medical history, injury history, and running habits of adult recreational runners.

Objective

The objective of the study was to evaluate two alternative forms of test-retest reliability of a comprehensive self-report Internet questionnaire retrospectively examining the medical history, injury history, and running habits among a sample of adult recreational runners. This will contribute to the broad aims of a wider study investigating genetics and running injury.

Methods

Invitations to complete an Internet questionnaire were sent by email to a convenience pilot popula
