“…A importância destas dermatoses é o risco de desajustes no posicionamento corporal, o que afeta o desempenho esportivo negativamente, aumentando também a probabilidade de acarretar lesões no futuro em especial pelas sobrecargas excessivas sobre os pés 9,12,17 e influência de fatores ergonômicos como força, repetitividade, posturas inadequadas e compressão mecânica 23,24 . Pesquisas mostram aumento de lesões musculoesqueléticas entre corredores, conforme o incremento do volume semanal de treinos e quilometragem percorrida 4,8,25 . Nesta investigação, 65,9% dos praticantes de corrida de rua relataram lesões músculo-ortopédicas limitantes e que impediram à atividade esportiva, com principal destaque para a articulação do joelho, que apresentou manifestação dolorosa proporcional ao aumento da quilometragem semanal percorrida.…”

rEsumoIntrodução: A corrida de rua é uma modalidade em expansão e tem sido utilizada como lazer, esporte ou prática competitiva. Objetivo: Verificar frequência de lesões desportivas e cutâneas em atletas de corrida de rua. Material e métodos: Estudo transversal de 220 atletas de corrida de rua com questionário e observação clínica. Análise pelos testes t, Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado e correlação de Spearman. Resultados: Predominaram atletas do sexo masculino, adultos, praticantes de corrida de longa distância, que treinam em média 45 a 60 minutos com frequência de 2 e 3 vezes por semana e têm participação variável em competições. As principais lesões relatadas foram dor no joelho (30,4%), distensão/estiramento muscular (16,7%), tendinites (10,1%), dor nos quadris (7,3%) e dor na coluna (7%), sem diferenças estatísticas entre os gêneros. Houve associação significativa entre quilômetros percorridos em treino e lesões musculares nos homens (p = 0,0477, x = 9,60). O calçado esportivo teve relação com presença de unhas encravadas e perdas ungueais nas mulheres. Conclusão: Os homens apresentaram maior frequência de lesões musculares e as mulheres, de afecções cutâneas e ungueais. Palavras-chave: traumatismos em atletas, corrida, dermatoses. AbstrACt Introduction: Street racing is a sport in expansion and has been used as leisure, sport or competitive practice.

“…6,22,23 This could be due to the fact that higher intensity entails increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries, particularly among the overweight. [24][25][26] Alternatively, given that people generally tend to do what makes them feel good and avoid what makes them feel bad, 27 the lower adherence could also be attributed to the fact that high intensity is typically experienced as unpleasant. 28 Although this latter possibility remains untested, the few relevant published studies permit two important observations.…”

Exercise does not feel the same when you are overweight: the impact of self-selected and imposed intensity on affect and exertion

Objective: The lower rates of adherence to physical activity commonly found among overweight adults compared to their normal-weight counterparts might be due to the activity being experienced as more laborious and less pleasant, particularly when its intensity is prescribed (or imposed) rather than self-selected. Design: Within-subject design, with two 20-min sessions of treadmill exercise, one at self-selected speed and one at imposed speed, 10% higher than the self-selected. Subjects: A total of 16 overweight (BMI: 31 kg/m 2 ) and 9 normal-weight (BMI: 22 kg/m 2 ) previously sedentary but healthy women (age: 43 years). Measurements: Heart rate, oxygen uptake relative to body weight, and ratings of perceived exertion and pleasure-displeasure were assessed every 5 min. Results: The overweight women showed higher oxygen uptake and perceived exertion than the normal-weight women during both sessions. Although the two groups did not differ in ratings of pleasure-displeasure during the session at self-selected speed, only the overweight women showed a significant decline when the speed was imposed. Conclusions: Imposing a speed that is just 10% higher than what overweight women would have self-selected led to a significant decline in reported pleasure. Over time, this could diminish the enjoyment of and intrinsic motivation for physical activity, reducing adherence.

Introduction: The practice of street racing has increased in recent years, both for its ease and the low cost involved. This practice, however, involves risks of musculoskeletal injuries. Objective: To assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and analyze associated factors among street racers amateur of Belo Horizonte / MG. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study. Sample selection was by convenience. The participants were 100 amateur athletes with at least three months of practice running with minimum frequency of twice a week. We collected data on the prevalence of injuries and associated factors using a structured questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of injuries among athletes was 40%. Among the factors associated with injury include the distance and the variation in average daily volume of training. Conclusion: The prevalence of injuries in amateur runners is considerable, although it was reported by less than half of the participants. The characteristics of training may trigger injury and should be carefully analyzed so that the race is held securely.
