Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the knee joint pain during running and its contributing factors among sailors on a long oceangoing voyage through questionnaire, so as to provide evidence for future preventive measures.Methods:After four months of voyage, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the knee joint pain during running and its contributing factors among sailors in the background of long oceangoing vessel protection operation. The questionnaire collected data regarding age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), physical exercise history, knee joint pain history, single running duration, running frequency, running shoes, and warm-up before running. The runners were divided into two groups, namely knee joint pain group (pain group) and no knee joint pain group (painless group). The differences of the pain contributing factors between the two groups were compared.Results:In total, 122 valid questionnaires returned, 68 in the pain group and 54 in the painless group. The incidence rate of knee joint pain was 55.7 %. There was no statistically significant difference in age, height, weight, BMI, physical exercise history, running frequency, and running shoes between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in knee joint pain history, single running duration, and warm-up before running between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Knee joint pain during running is common among sailors on a long oceangoing voyage. The knee injury is closely related to the history of knee pain, too long single running time, and no warm-up before running. It is suggested that sailors pay attention to quadriceps exercise, warm-up before running, and scientific planning of running on the long oceangoing voyage.
