Abstract
The research undertaken was to investigate injuries sustained by novice runners training for a 42-km roadrace. Due to a lack of investigation of marathon training injuries in general and specifically for novice runners was th3e basis for this study. Safe participation in recreational activities has been investigated extensively for cardiac patients (Schroeder, 1985). However, the consequences of fitness activities on musculoskeletal injury of apparently health individuals has been investigated less in-depth (Requa, DeAvilla, & Garrick, 1993) . Most fitness activities in which indi victuals participate appear safe (Requa, DeAvilla & Garrick, 1993) In a study by Requa et al., running had a higher risk for injury than many team sports such as basketball, tennis, and racquetball. Koplan et al. (1982) suggested more than onethird of runners experienced injuries which slowed or reduced weekly mileage during a 1-year period. The risk of injury was related to weekly mileage (Koplan, et al., 1982).
