Introdução: diversos tipos de vibração tornaram-se intervenções comuns entre os profissionais de saúde e do desporto, com intuito de diminuir a tensão muscular e rigidez articular, aumentar a força e flexibilidade, entre outros. Objetivo: analisar a eficácia da técnica de massagem por vibração (MV) localizada, na flexibilidade dos músculos da cadeia posterior dos membros inferiores e da coluna lombar em indivíduos ativos e desportistas. Metodologia: 25 adultos do sexo masculino, estudantes de Fisioterapia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, com uma média de idade de 24.36±0.68 anos distribuídos em dois grupos de acordo com a atividade física (ativos n=15 e muito ativos n=10), quantificada pelo questionário internacional de atividade física (IPAQ). Todos os intervenientes foram submetidos a duas técnicas terapêuticas, MV e Reeducação Postural Global (RPG), e a uma técnica placebo, de Ultrassons. Cada intervenção teve uma duração total de 16 minutos. A flexibilidade dos músculos da cadeia posterior foi testada, pré e pós-intervenção, através do teste sentar-alcançar, usando o banco de Wells. Resultados: a MV e a RPG demonstraram ganhos significativos na flexibilidade da cadeia posterior (p<0.001). Quando se compara as duas técnicas, a MV diferencia-se da RPG no grupo de indivíduos muito ativos, por obter ganhos superiores (p=0.020). No grupo ativo, os ganhos de flexibilidade foram similares em ambas as técnicas (p=0.169). Conclusão: os resultados sugerem que a MV pode contribuir para um aumento imediato na flexibilidade da cadeia posterior em indivíduos ativos e/ou muito ativos, com vantagens significativas relativamente à execução de uma postura de RPG nos indivíduos muito ativos. Este estudo poderá ser considerado como um ponto de partida para investigações futuras sobre MV com este equipamento, como recurso terapêutico na recuperação da performance, ou no seu incremento.
Introduction: several types of vibration have become common interventions among health and sports professionals, in order to reduce muscle tension and joint stiffness, increase strength and flexibility, among others. Objective: to analyse local vibration massage technique (VM) effectiveness in the flexibility of the posterior chain muscles of lower limbs and lumbar spine in active individuals and sportsmen. Methodology: 25 male adults, physiotherapy students from Fernando Pessoa University, with a mean age of 24.36±0.68 years distributed into two groups according to physical activity (active n=15 and very active n=10), quantified by the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). All individuals were submitted to two therapeutic techniques, VM and Global Postural Reeducation (GPR), and a placebo technique of Ultrasound. Each intervention had a total duration of 16 minutes. The posterior chain muscles flexibility was tested, pre and post-intervention, through the sit-and-reach test, using Wells' bench. Results: VM and GPR have shown significant gains in the flexibility of the posterior chain (p<0.001). When comparing both techniques, VM differentiates from the GPR in the group of very active individuals, which obtained higher gains (p=0.020). In the active group, flexibility gains were similar in both techniques (p=0.169). Conclusion: results suggest that VM can contribute to an immediate increase in the posterior chain flexibility in active and/or very active individuals, with significant advantages in respect to the implementation of a GPR posture in very active subjects. This study may be considered as a starting point for future investigations over MV with this equipment, as a therapeutic resource in the performance recovery, or in its ingredients.
