A systematic literature review was conducted using various databases, resulting in an overall injury incidence of 40.2% and prevalence of 44.6% among runners.
Key findings showed that injuries were most common in the knee, ankle, and lower leg, with conditions like Achilles tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain syndrome being the most frequently reported injuries among both ultramarathoners and regular runners.
