Background

Over 30 million people run marathons annually. The impact of marathon running on hips is unclear with existing literature being extremely limited (only one study of 8 runners).

Aim and Objectives

We aimed to better understand the effect of marathon running on the pelvis and hip joints by designing the largest MRI study of asymptomatic volunteers. The objectives were to evaluate the pelvis and both hip joints before and after a marathon.
