National Survey by Chi Herbal Finds 90% of Endurance Athletes Will Injure Themselves This Year
Taking into consideration factors such as age, level of competition, warm up routines and money spent on nutrition, supplements and equipment, the survey exposed intriguing findings regarding injuries and injury prevention.
Sudbury, MA April 4, 2006 -- The Chi Herbal Injury Index just released found that 9 out of 10 competitive runners, cyclists and triathletes sustained injury last year. Surprisingly, the injury rate remained constant regardless of age, gender, injury prevention strategies and spending on equipment and nutrition. Even those who spent more than 20 minutes daily on injury prevention sustained injuries 90 percent of the time.
Sponsored by Chi Herbal, a provider of time-tested, natural products that help athletes speed recovery, prevent injury, and maintain a healthy condition, and Active.com, one of the Web's most popular resources for active lifestyles, the Chi Herbal Injury Index surveyed 510 competitive athletes nationwide. Paramount to a successful year is good health, but as endurance athletes ramp up their spring training for the season ahead, the odds are against making it through the season without some sort of problem: of athletes surveyed, 24 percent missed more than a month last year because of injury, with 50 percent missing two weeks or more.
