Lesões osteomusculares em corredores de rua: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Street running has been gaining more adepts and becoming more popular with practitioners who want to have a more active and healthy life. Although the practice brings more quality of life to the practitioners, street running can generate some inju-ries in its participants, with the lower limb being the most affected. Objective: To identify which are the most frequent osteomuscular symptoms in street runners. Methods: This is an integrative review. The research was carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scielo, the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMED), Capes journals portal, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) and Cochrane Library, using the following descriptors: Running; Amateur runners; Pain; Injuries. Results: At the beginning of the research 19 arti-cles were identified. The title, descriptors and abstract were read to make the selection. In this step, 11 articles were excluded, and the remaining 8 were read and discussed in this article. Discussion: The practice of street race has repercussions in the whole body, with the lower limbs standing out as the most affected, leading to the practitioner's withdrawal from the ac-tivity. The studies showed that the knee is the joint most affected by injuries and it was also observed that the muscles most affected by injuries are the calf, then the anterior tibial. Con-clusion: The muscular alterations are found in practitioners and it was evidenced in several articles that the inferior members are the most affected by injuries, being the knee the most affected one, followed by the ankle, taking the practitioner to the withdrawal of the sport with undetermined time for his return.
