The definition of an injury was \u201cany musculoskeletal problem causing a stop in training for at least one day, reduction in training mileage, taking of medicine, or seeking of medical aid.\u201d<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>The data were derived from the responses of 223 athletes. Advanced level athletes did 11 (4) sessions and 17 (8) hours of training a week (mean (SD)). An injury was reported in the previous 18 months by 73% of the respondents. The most common site of acute injury was the ankle (23%) and of chronic\/overuse injury, the knee (30%), followed by the lower back, shin, and Achilles tendon (12% each). There were significant correlations (p&lt;0.01) between the hours spent cycling per week and number of acute injuries, and between the number of days off per week and number of chronic\/overuse injuries. Injuries resulted in an average of 23 days training cessation or reduction.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>Acute injuries were sustained mainly as a result of the nature of the terrain over which athletes train and compete. In overuse injuries lack of adequate rest days was a significant contributing factor. Only a small proportion of training time was spent developing flexibility and core stability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2002.003350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,21]],"date-time":"2004-05-21T16:43:24Z","timestamp":1085157804000},"page":"300-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Epidemiology of injuries in adventure racing athletes"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"S","family":"Fordham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Garbutt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658601400515"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.20.3.125"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.3","first-page":"75","volume":"38","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Sports Med Phys Fitness"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-972977"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.5","first-page":"38","volume":"26","year":"1998","journal-title":"NZ J Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199621010-00005"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199519050-00002"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.8","first-page":"65","volume":"26","year":"1998","journal-title":"Physician Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.3.197"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.10","first-page":"145","volume":"159","year":"1993","journal-title":"West J Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670000145"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.12","first-page":"176","volume":"3","year":"1997","journal-title":"Sports Exerc Injury"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.1097\/00042752-199410000-00005","volume":"4","year":"1994","journal-title":"Clin J Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.14","first-page":"120","volume":"13","year":"1985","journal-title":"Physician Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.15","first-page":"8","volume":"11","year":"1993","journal-title":"Sport Health"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.33.2.105","volume":"33","year":"1999","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051311525078000_38.3.300.17","unstructured":"Berglund B, McKenzie D.
