Abstract

In recent years, more and more college teachers and students have started to participate in long-distance running. However, due to differences in physical fitness and exercise levels among participants, unexpected situations are inevitable. Therefore, this article takes some long-distance running teachers and students as the research object to study the situation of lower limb injuries in long-distance running teachers and students and analyzes the frequency and location characteristics of lower limb injuries. Then, a series of simple and feasible lower limb structural assessment and functional tests were conducted on selected long-distance running teachers and students with and without lower limb sports injuries. Research has found that the main types of sports injuries for teachers and students in long-distance running include sprains and strains. The incidence of lower limb sports injuries among long-distance running teachers and students is high, reaching 81.3%, mainly concentrated in the knee, ankle, and foot regions.

Introduction

With the rapid growth of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have begun to pay attention to their own health, and the sports activities chosen by the public are becoming more and more abundant (Wang, 2021). However, due to the limitations of stadiums, such as venues and environments, many sports programs that rely on the environment and ability of sports are not favored by the public (Alters, 2005).

Because running does not require long-term dependence on the exercise environment and can also reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors and improve cardiopulmonary capacity and weight control, more and more people choose running as a form of exercise (Turris et al., 2014). However, while the number of people choosing the sport of long-distance running is increasing, the skeletal muscle damage of the lower limbs caused by long-distance running is gradually attracting attention (Anderson, 2003). Sports injuries that occur during exercise can have a significant impact on the daily lives and teaching of teachers and students. Firstly, it could cause the training plan to be interrupted, making it impossible to continue with long-distance running exercises. Secondly, the damage caused will have an impact on daily classes and travel, making it impossible for students to study and live normally. Finally, recovery could require treatment and a certain cost following an injury, causing certain economic losses. Therefore, a series of similar investigations into injuries occurring during such movements must and urgently be undertaken.

In this study, some long-distance running teachers and students were studied on the lower limb injuries of long-distance running teachers and students, and the frequency and location characteristics of lower limb injuries were analyzed. Then, a series of simple and easy lower limb structure assessment content and functional tests were conducted on selected long-distance runners and students with and without lower limb sports injuries. This article conducts a survey and research on long-distance running teachers and students, aiming to provide reference for long-distance running training in universities.
