Medical issues of endurance training and competition
(Medizinische Fragen des Ausdauertrainings und Wettkampfs)
Summary
• Endurance training will unfortunately result in injuries in many athletes.
• Most injuries are directly related to over training: increasing distance or intensity inappropriately for the athlete, failure to rest, and in some cases nutrition.
• When an athlete reports discomfort or pain, or has a change in gait or performance during training, a serious analysis should be made by the coach: persistent or obviously significant problems should be evaluated by the appropriate medical expert, and treated.
• Relative rest is a cure for many maladies.
• "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." (Franklin, 1733).
