For the 5-year
recall period, we developed gender-specific lower extremity injury
prediction models. For both men and women, risk of injury decreased with
increasing age. In addition, for both genders previous injury and RWJ
mileage >20 miles/week increased the risk of injury. Additional risk factors
for men included RWJ experience 3+ years and moderate and high fitness
levels. For women, risk of injury increased with increasing BMI. Previous
injury was the most significant risk factor for men, while RWJ mileage was
the most significant risk factor among women. |
