Objectives
Prevalence, clinical characteristics and severity of gradual onset injuries (GOIs) in cyclists are poorly documented. We determine the prevalence, anatomical regions/sites affected and severity of GOIs among entrants in a community-based mass participation event. Design Cross-sectional study; Setting Cape Town Cycle Tour; Participants Race entrants. Main outcome measures Of 35,914 entrants, 27,349 completed pre-race medical questionnaires. We studied 21,824 consenting cyclists (60.8% of entrants). Crude lifetime prevalence, retrospective annual incidence, anatomical region/sites, specific GOI, tissue type and GOI severity is reported. Results The lifetime prevalence of GOIs was 2.8%, with an annual incidence of 2.5%. More common anatomical regions affected by GOIs were lower limb (43.4%), upper limb (19.8%), and lower back (11.5%). The knee (26.3%), shoulder (13%), and lower back (11.5%) regions were mostly affected. The most common GOI was anterior knee pain (14.2%). Of the GOIs, 55% were in soft tissue. 50% of cyclists reported symptom duration >12 months, and 37.3% of GOIs were severe enough to reduce/prevent cycling. Conclusion 2.5% recreational cyclists report a GOI annually. >50% of GOIs affect the knee, lower back and shoulder. GOIs negatively affect cycling. Risk factors related to GOIs in cyclists need to be determined to develop and implement prevention programs. |
