Tipos de lesões mais comuns em professores e futuros professores de danças urbanas, da Escola do Futuro do Estado de Goiás em Artes Basileu França

Abstract

The Basileu França School of the future of the State of Goiás offers courses for teachers and future teachers in “Urban Dance,” which has a high-skill core. Your students use their own bodies as a working tool and need to be prepared for classes, rehearsals, and choreographic demands, so they are subject to several hours of their day dedicated to rehearsals or choreography, which can cause some types of injuries due to lack of necessary rest or inadequate physical preparation. The objective of this research is to verify the prevalence of injuries by analyzing the most recurrent ones in teachers and future teachers of urban dance at the Basileu França arts school in Goiânia. To do this, we used the methodology from the research line “Physical Education, Pedagogical and Social Practices,” which is an exploratory and analytical study through field research with an online questionnaire involving 20 teachers or future teachers of “Urban Dance” at the Basileu França School of Arts. The data revealed that most participants have suffered some type of injury, with knees, ankles, and spine being the most common areas affected. Sprains, strains, and tendonitis were also mentioned, often associated with many hours of effort without necessary rest and proper physical preparation. A small portion of participants said they warm up before class, but stretching after practice and preventive muscle strengthening are not yet part of most people's routine, which shows a risk in terms of body and health care. It was possible to analyze that injuries are a frequent reality in the daily lives of these professionals, affecting not only their physical performance but also their pedagogical performance and artistic expression.
