Timeline
novice runners
In this exploratory, 7-day prospective cohort study, 914 novice runners were categorized into 1 of 3 exposure groups, based on their body mass index (BMI): (1) normal weight (BMI less than 25 kg/m2, n = 405; reference group), (2) overweight (BMI of 25 to less than 30 kg/m2, n = 341), and (3) obese (BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater, n = 168). All runners were equipped with a global-positioning-system running watch, which provided information about distance, duration, speed, and date of each running session during the first week of a self-chosen running regime.
