Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric dimensions and wind injuries in athletics athletes of Urmia city. The current research is of a descriptive and correlational type, the data of which was collected in the field and quantitative measurements. The statistical population of this research was formed by the athletes of Urmia city in 1401 , of which 60 people who were active in speed (30 people), semi-endurance (15 people ) and endurance (15 people ) were selected as a sample. In order to measure and collect information, Esmaili et al.'s questionnaire ( 2013 ) , tape measure, digital scale, caliper, goniometer, and ruler were used. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the data distribution. In the meantime, according to the abnormal and normal distribution of different variables, chi-square tests and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to check the relationship between variables. SPSS 21 software was used for statistical analysis ( p <0.05 ) . The results showed that there is a significant relationship between weight and plantar fasciitis and age and Achilles tendonitis in runners. On the other hand, a significant relationship was observed between thigh length and hamstring elongation. But no significant relationship was observed between other anthropometric dimensions and the injuries of the athletes. It can be concluded that the trainers and teachers of athletics should be informed about the anthropometric dimensions as well as the common injuries in runners and justify the runners with training workshops for proper and correct training and injury prevention.
