Study of Running Injuries and Treatment Habits in Romanian Speakers

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: * 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.
