Why Do Healthy People Die Running Marathons?
Most Dangerous Sports
Swimming
Swimming is the deadliest non-extreme sport, claiming an average of 11 lives in the United States every day
Nearly 1,000 cyclists die each year, according to the CDC, and more than 130,000 sustain injuries. Adults ages 55 to 69 have the highest rates of death, but adolescents, teens, and young adults have the highest injury rates. Bicycling deaths and injuries often involve collisions with motor vehicles.
Running
Running is a popular – and sometimes dangerous – sport. As with bicycling, running deaths are sometimes due to collisions with motor vehicles, as runners often share the road. Sudden cardiac arrest is the most common cause of death, especially among marathon runners. Still, the risk of death while running a marathon is low: research shows that there is about 1 death per 149,968 marathon participants.
Basketball
Basketball causes the most injuries for players of all ages, according to Healthgrades. Doctors treated about 570,000 basketball players in 2012; of these, about 8,000 were hospitalized. Basketball injuries include ankle sprains, jammed fingers, knee injuries, deep thigh bruising, facial cuts, and foot fractures.
Football
Football causes the most injuries of all sports for kids ages 12 to 17. More than 466,000 people in the United States suffered a football injury in 2012; of these, 10,000 were hospitalized for their injuries. Injuries commonly associated with football include ankle sprains, knee injuries, and quadricep, hamstring, and groin strains.
Soccer
Soccer injuries send more than 231,000 people to the emergency department each year. Common soccer injuries include ankle sprains, knee sprains, calf strains, and fractures of the clavicle, feet, or wrist.
Ice hockey
Ice hockey causes the most concussions. Of the 3 million teens who play ice hockey in the United States, nearly 10,000 sustain injuries, and 31 percent of these injuries are concussions. Other ice hockey injuries include injuries to the AC joint in the shoulder, ACL strains or tears in the knee, broken collar bones, and muscle strains.
Cheerleading
Many people do not realize that cheerleading is a competitive contact sport that involves gymnastics, forming human pyramids, and throwing teammates into the air – all of which can cause sports injuries. In 2011, cheerleading caused 29,000 injuries. Common cheerleading injuries include concussions, sprains, and strains.
