Resumo(s)
Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e os tipos de lesões entre os praticantes de windsurf, bem como analisar as áreas corporais mais afetadas, a perceção dos praticantes face aos fatores de risco associados às lesões e as melhores estratégias de prevenção segundo os participantes. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, transversal no qual foi distribuído um questionário a praticantes de windsurf de todos os níveis (amadores, semiprofissionais e profissionais de windsurf), recolhendo informações sobre a sua prática, o seu historial de lesões. Resultados: Foram incluídos 57 participantes (34 [23-51] anos, 82,5% do sexo masculino). Os resultados mostraram os tipos de lesões mais prevalentes foram as tendinites, as entorses e as lombalgias. Estas lesões devem-se principalmente a movimentos bruscos ou à prática intensiva do desporto. As zonas mais afetadas foram o tornozelo, o joelho, o ombro e a coluna lombar. De acordo com a opinião subjetiva dos participantes, uma preparação física adequada seria a melhor forma de prevenir estas lesões. Estatisticamente, não foi possível identificar fatores de risco significativos. Conclusão: Estes resultados estão de acordo com os de desportos semelhantes, como o kitesurf, e com as descrições dos mecanismos de lesão em estudos anteriores sobre o windsurf.
Objective: To identify the prevalence and types of injuries among windsurfing practitioners, as well as to analyze the most affected body areas, the participants’ perception of risk factors associated with these injuries and the best prevention strategies according to participants. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, in which a questionnaire was distributed to windsurfers of all levels (amateurs, semi-professionals, and professionals), collecting information about their practice and injury history. Results: A total of 57 participants were included (34 [23–51] years old, 82.5% male). The results showed that the most prevalent types of injuries were tendinitis, sprains, and low back pain. These injuries were mainly due to sudden movements or intensive practice of the sport. The most affected areas were the ankle, knee, shoulder and lumbar spine. According to the participants’ subjective opinion, proper physical preparation would be the best way to prevent these injuries. Statistically, no significant risk factors could be identified. Conclusion: These results are consistent with those found in similar sports, such as kitesurfing, and with descriptions of injury mechanisms in previous windsurfing studies.
