Abstract

Introduction: Participants in marathons increase every year, making them an attractive population to investigate. In Chile, characteristics of 42K runners of decentralized and emerging races, such as Temuco-Araucanía International Marathon (MITA), are not yet known.

Objective: to describe sociodemographic characteristics, training habits and motivation in marathoners participants in MITA 2017 and 2018.

Materials and Method: descriptive, transversal study. Sampling non-probabilistic for convenience included 88 adults marathoners (n=43-2017 and n=45-2018) who met selection criteria (older or equal than 18 years old), signed informed consent, intellectually trained to answer survey). Variables analyzed were age, educational level, type of occupation, frequency, duration and intensity of training, membership in sports clubs and motivation to exercise. Data obtained through original survey, analyzed with SPSS program (v.21.0). Study approved by accredited Scientific Ethics Committee.

Results: Sociodemographic characteristics report a greater number of men surveyed in both years (p 0.001- p <0.001), 40 years old as average age of the participants, high educational level (72.5-66.7%), main occupation 2017 was technical and 2018 professional, without statistically significant differences. Similar training habits in both versions: frequency (5 days/week), high intensity training sessions (88.1-70.5%), participation in sports clubs >50% and practice of another sport >37%. Principal motivation to excercise was physical conditioning, without statistically significant differences for both groups. Longer training duration per session for 2017 version (110 versus 89 minutes) (p 0.01).

Conclusions: a relatively similar behavior was observed in sociodemograhic characteristics, training habits and motivation in marathoners of MITA 2017 and 2018.
