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.
