Masters of Science - Msc (Physiotherapy) / Extrinsic factors like terrain, hard running surfaces or incorrect shoes
have been known to be contributing factors to injury, and intrinsic factors such as
poor flexibility, mal-alignment anthropometry, previous injury and running
experience have been identified in playing a role too. Little is known about the factors
associated with injuries among marathon runners in Eldoret, Kenya. It is therefore
