Background: Running is still becoming more and more popular, and as involvement rises, sowill the frequency of injuries associated to running. The most frequent injury to the external sideof the knee among runners is iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), with a 5% to 14% projectedfrequency. More needs to be studied about the genesis, diagnosis, and therapy of ITBS among Runners in order to allow evidence-based care of this ailment.

Objective: - The objective of our study is to calculate the prevalence of iliotibial band syndromein athletes.

Methodology: - A cross-sectional study with athletes is carried out. The four-month trial wascompleted. Using a straightforward random selection method, 421 athletes are evaluated. TheLahore and Gujranwala sports bodies provide the information. Male long jumpers, basketballplayers, athletes in their first season, athletes between the ages of 15 and 40, and things witheither a past or current diagnosis of ITBE are all included in this study.

Conclusion: - Research on the treatments of ITBS in runners has poor               methodological    quality,and           the          findings  are             often contradictory. To avoid selection bias and maximise the generalizability of findings, study designs should be modified. Iliotibial ligament syndrome tends to have a fair long-term outlook, while some runners have repeated problems if they suddenlyincrease their mileage.
