Ultrasound Joint Fluid Changes After a 5-km Run in 30 Healthy Adults

A prospective observational trial of 30 healthy adults assessed by musculoskeletal ultrasound at baseline, immediately post-run, and 24 hours post-run. The dataset, created by Jakub Jačisko and last updated in 2026, records binary fluid presence in four anatomical sites bilaterally. Results show significant delayed fluid increases in the ankle region 24 hours after a 5-km run.

Use Cases

• Modeling the time course of exercise-induced joint effusion based on pre- and post-run measurements.
• Analyzing differences in fluid response between anatomical sites like the retrocalcaneal bursa and talocrural joint.
• Investigating potential demographic factors in fluid accumulation using participant age and sex data implied by the description.
• Training classifiers to detect fluid presence from ultrasound data based on binary outcome labels.

Strengths

• Includes data from 30 participants (17 females, 13 males) with a defined age range of 20-47 years.
• Provides longitudinal measurements at three time points: baseline, immediately post-run, and 24 hours post-run.
• Reports statistically significant results with p-values and effect sizes (g) for specific anatomical sites.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The final assessment was at 24 hours, so the full time course of fluid changes is not captured.
