About this study
Official title: Running Injuries, Patient-Specific Quality of Life, Injury Prevention and Treatment Habits Among the Romanian-Speaking Population
This study examines running injuries, quality of life, and treatment habits among Romanian-speaking runners. A key objective is the Romanian language adaptation and validation of the University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI), a running-specific questionnaire.
The purpose is to understand:
Read more
- What types of running injuries are most common
- How injuries affect runners' daily life and well-being
- What prevention and treatment methods runners currently use
- What healthcare services runners use for injuries
- To provide a validated Romanian version of the UWRI questionnaire
Participants will complete an online questionnaire about their running experience, any injuries they have had, how these injuries affected their life, and what treatments they tried.
The survey takes about 25-30 minutes to complete. All information is confidential and anonymous.
This research will help healthcare providers better understand and treat running injuries in the Romanian-speaking community.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Reliability and Validity of Romanian Running Injury Questionnaire
Assessment of psychometric properties of the Romanian version of University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI), a questionnaire that measures running injuries and recovery. The UWRI scale ranges from 0 to 36, where higher scores indicate greater running ability. Reliability measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency. Validity assessed through factor analysis and correlation with quality of life measures. Cronbach's alpha ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no reliability and 1 indicates perfect reliability. Values above 0.70 indicate acceptable reliability, above 0.80 indicate good reliability.
Measured: Baseline
Secondary outcomes (2)
Healthcare Utilization Patterns for Running Injuries
Proportion of participants who consulted healthcare providers for running-related injuries, assessed through structured questionnaire. Categorized by provider type (physicians, physiotherapists, sports medicine specialists), frequency of visits and types of treatments received. Healthcare-seeking behavior patterns will be reported as percentages and frequencies among Romanian runners with injuries.
Measured: Baseline
Manual Therapy Knowledge and Attitudes Assessment for Running Injuries
Assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and utilization patterns regarding manual therapy among runners using structured questionnaire. Includes perceived effectiveness, awareness of benefits, previous utilization, and willingness to seek manual therapy treatment. Results reported as descriptive statistics and categorical responses.
Measured: Baseline
