Gender, women vs men	0.69 (0.57 to 0.84)	<0.001
Age, years	1.01 (1.00 to 1.02)	0.016
Running years		<0.001
1–2 years vs <1 year	0.92 (0.38 to 2.21)	0.849
3–5 years vs <1 year	1.62 (0.72 to 3.64)	0.243
6–9 years vs <1 year	1.67 (0.74 to 3.74)	0.214
≥ 10 years vs <1 year	2.45 (1.10 to 5.43)	0.028
Intensity most intensive training		0.102
Intensive vs moderately intensive	1.24 (0.98 to 1.58)	0.076
Very intensive vs moderately intensive	1.34 (1.01 to 1.78)	0.043
Warming up, no vs yes	0.78 (0.64 to 0.96)	0.018

*OR=exp (beta). A value <1 indicates a decreased risk and a value >1 indicates an increased risk.

†The selection of risk factors in the multivariable logistic regression model was based on Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), corresponding to a p value of 0.157 for a predictor with one regression coefficient.²⁹
