Brief Summary

the study aims to estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in a population of runners in the mountains; moreover it proposes to explore the relationship between distance traveled, the difference in height, the training frequency in the week, the shoes worn, the training method, the use of supports and experience of running with musculoskeletal disorders. The secondary objectives of this study are to investigate to which rehabilitative figures the sportsman turns and if the treatments have positive outcomes.

Interventions

Questionnaire administration to gather informationOTHER

In the questionnaire there are questions about the training (number of kilometers traveled by runners on average, total height difference, number of training sessions per week, training ground) questions on other activities carried out (gym, bicycle, etc.) number of competitions that runners participated in the month, used footwear, musculoskeletal disorders in the last 12 months, which health professional the runner has addressed, which physiotherapy therapies did.
