Article Synopsis
- Blisters are a common injury among runners that can hinder performance, prompting a need for better understanding of their causes and prevention strategies.
- A survey of 533 runners after races in France revealed that 61% used blister prevention methods, but 29% still reported experiencing blisters, with anti-friction cream being the most popular method.
- The study found that a history of past blisters significantly increases the risk of developing new blisters, while running shorter distances (40-74 km) appears to lower that risk.
