Incidência de lesão musculoesquelética em jogadores de futebol

Abstract

Soccer is a popular sport worldwide, especially in Brazil; therefore, several studies have tried to make a profile of injuries and players more prone to it; however, this kind of study is rare in the northern region of our country. The general aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries on professional soccer players of Remo Club. Methods: 27 professional soccer players of Remo Club were analyzed during the State Championship of Pará in 2010. Data were collected through verification of records and application of a semi-coded questionnaire to the athletes and a; statistical analysis was subsequently applied. Results: By analyzing the sample, it was found that most of the injuries were contractures and contusions, the most affected body site was the thigh and the knee and the athletes who suffered the most injuries were the midfielders. Conclusion: Several muscles injuries have occurred; therefore, assistance of the medical staff is needed, since this kind of injury does not occur due to trauma, but rather due to the movements imposed to the players during games and training. Thus, adequate physical preparation can reduce the incidence of this type of injury.

“…Devido ao fato de o futebol ser um esporte que exige muito esforço físico é inevitável que as lesões durante sua prática aconteçam, visto que é caracterizado por intenso contato físico, movimentos curtos, rápidos e não contínuos, tais como aceleração, desaceleração, saltos e mudanças abruptas de direção, quedas, entre outras (16). Desta forma, o uso de determinadas plantas medicinais contribui de forma significativa na manutenção da saúde desses atletas expostos a esses eventos.…”

Incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in professional soccer players from Aracaju/SE-Brazil.

“…Almeida, Scotta, Pimentel, Batista Júnior , Sampaio 12 , assessing players from Clube do Remo in Belém-PA-Brazil, identified a higher occurrence of injuries in matches 12 . Ekstrand, Hägglund, Waldén 11 , went further and reported a sixfold incidence of injuries in match days rather than on training days 11 .…”

“…The lower limbs are the most affected body segment since it is where there is greater physical demand and a greater propensity to fatigue with reduction of neuromuscular control 12 . More specifically, the thigh, knee and ankle are the most affected sites 24,25 .…”

“…In addition, in this study, hamstrings were the main affected site (37%), followed by hip adductors (23%) and quadriceps (19%). It is worth mentioning that muscle injury is usually associated with an indirect mechanism of trauma due to sudden and vigorous contraction 12 .…”

“…However, available data from scientific research in Brazil is still under the satisfactory level 12 . The small amount of papers available is derivated from works with elite clubs, what represents a different scenario from that experienced by most Brazilian clubs 10,13 .…”
