| Abstract |
Ultramarathons are becoming increasingly popular every year, leading to more and more publications focusing on athletes of these endurance events. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge on the effects of ultramarathons on the motor system. Various studies have attempted to answer questions about negative and positive effects on the musculoskeletal system, common injuries, optimal strategies, and regeneration. Considering the increasing number of ultramarathon athletes, the discoveries may have practical applications for a multitude of experts in the field of sports medicine, as well as for the athletes themselves. Acute locomotor system changes in runners as assessed by locomotor biomarkers are reversible and may be asymptomatic or painful. Injuries suffered by runners largely allow them to finish the competition and are usually overlooked. Regeneration, including regular massage and the use of supporting techniques, allows for faster convalescence. This publication is meant to be a source of knowledge for people associated with this discipline. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 January 2022.
All research outputs
#4,825,855
of 25,844,183 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#2,438
of 15,737 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#99,123
of 437,892 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#96
of 694 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,844,183 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,737 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 437,892 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 694 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
