“…Compared with elite boxing (52.7%), BJJ athletes had a higher prevalence of SD [ 13 ]. The high shoulder injury rate is due to sweep, submission, and tumbling [ 3 , 9 , 25 ]. Rotator cuff injuries and AC sprains are common [ 2 , 11 ] in BJJ, and SD is frequently observed in these injuries [ 12 , 15 , 34 ].…”

“…Over five years of BJJ training and higher levels of BJJ belts (purple, brown, and black belts) showed a higher prevalence of SD in the non-dominant arm ( Table 2 and Table 3 ). Advanced BJJ athletes have reported more shoulder injuries than beginners [ 3 ]. Greater exposure to training and competition is related to a greater prevalence of injuries in BJJ athletes [ 3 ], which could lead to shoulder weakness and malfunction, causing SD [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Brazilian ju-jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling martial art emphasizing takedowns, joint locks, and chokeholds to win with different fight styles [ 1 , 2 ]. Although BJJ athletes are not exposed to direct blows and kicks, the prevalence of injuries such as fractures, dislocations, sprains, muscle strains, and tendinopathy is very high [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. According to Nicolini et al (2021), 84% of BJJ athletes experience orthopedic injuries in two years, with an average of 58 days to recover from injuries [ 5 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Neck and shoulder injuries are common in Brazilian ju-jitsu (BJJ) athletes, and scapular dyskinesis (SD) is associated with these injuries. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SD in BJJ athletes, their neck and shoulder function and strength, and the BJJ training period. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight BJJ athletes participated in the study. Years of experience with BJJ, belt, shoulder internal and external rotation strength, neck strength, neck disability index (NDI), and SD were measured. Results: Approximately 31 BJJ athletes (64.6%) showed SD, and the nondominant arm showed a more obvious SD (n = 22, 45.8%) than the dominant arm (n = 18, 37.5%). Those with over five years of BJJ training experience showed a significantly higher rate of SD (p = 0.006) than those with less than five years of experience. Shoulder isometric internal rotation strength was significantly weaker in the obvious SD group than in the normal SD group (p = 0.014). Neck isometric strength and NDI did not differ significantly between individuals with or without SD. Conclusions: SD was common among BJJ athletes, and more experienced BJJ athletes exhibited higher rates of SD. Shoulder rotational strength was weaker with SD. Further studies are necessary on the neck and shoulders of BJJ athletes with SD.

“…Esse tempo foi definido com base em estudos anteriores, com o objetivo de deixar os participantes mais familiarizados com o questionário. 8 O período retroativo para análise das lesões foi de três anos, baseado em estudos anteriores com a mesma metodologia 8 e justificado principalmente por se tratar de uma modalidade esportiva individual, que requer um período maior que um ano para investigação.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência e as características das lesões musculoesqueléticas associadas aos praticantes de CrossFit® e a relação dessa prevalência entre aqueles que realizam de forma concomitante o treinamento resistido (TR). Métodos: Estudo transversal, no qual foram incluídos participantes adultos de ambos os sexos, que responderam a um questionário misto de morbidade adaptado. Os participantes foram divididos em grupos de acordo com a prática ou não de outra modalidade juntamente ao CrossFit®, com destaque para o TR. Foram utilizados procedimentos de estatísticas analítica e descritiva, com um nível de significância estatística de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Foram incluídos no estudo 179 participantes. Observaram-se prevalências de lesões musculoesqueléticas na amostra geral do estudo de 32,4% e naqueles que realizam o CrossFit® com TR de 30,8%. A razão de prevalência de lesões para esse grupo foi de 0,95, com menor prevalência de lesões para os membros superiores (p=0,03) e inferiores (p=0,02). Vale a pena destacar que 96% dos praticantes de CrossFit® e TR realizaram treinamentos de força com foco apenas nas musculaturas dos membros superiores e/ou inferiores, sem realização de treinamento específico para o segmento anatômico do Core (regiões lombar e pelve). Conclusão: O TR associado ao CrossFit® e com abrangência a todos os segmentos anatômicos pode ser considerado um fator de proteção para a ocorrência de lesões musculoesquelética no CrossFit®. Nível de Evidência IV; Série de Casos.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal injuries associated with CrossFit® practitioners and the relationship of this prevalence among those who concomitantly perform resistance training (RT). Methods: Cross-sectional study in which adult participants of both sexes were included, who answered a mixed morbidity questionnaire adapted. The participants were allocated into groups according to whether or not they practiced another modality along with CrossFit®, with emphasis on RT. Analytical and descriptive statistics procedures were used, with a statistical significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: A total of 179 participants were included in the study. Prevalences of musculoskeletal injuries were observed in the overall study sample of 32.4% and in those who perform CrossFit® with RT of 30.8%. The injury prevalence ratio for this group was 0.95, with lower injury prevalence for the upper limbs (p=0.03) and lower limbs (p=0.02). It is worth noting that 96% of the CrossFit® and RT practitioners did strength training focused only on the upper and/or lower limb musculatures, without specific training for the anatomical segment of the Core (lumbar and pelvis). Conclusion: RT associated with CrossFit® and covering all anatomical segments, can be considered a protective factor for the occurrence of musculoskeletal injuries in CrossFit®. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series.
