Description
Ryota Yamamoto, Toshiharu Tsutsui, and Suguru Torii scan the hips of young elite runners for deformity, in a study published in two thousand twenty-six. Cam and pincer shapes, where hip bones meet imperfectly, can cause pain and arthritis. Whether heavy adolescent training creates them was the question.
Fifty-seven male freshman collegiate long-distance runners in Japan participated. Their adolescent sports histories were collected by questionnaire. Bone scans measured both hips of every athlete. Cam morphology appeared in about sixty-eight percent of hips; pincer shapes in sixty-four percent. Neither correlated with sports participation history. Deformity was already common at college entry. The findings complicate simple stories blaming training volume alone for hip shape in runners.
