Lesions derived from physical exercises may be caused or worsened in bodybuilding. Current research analyzes the perception of adult bodybuilders with regard to the occurrence and characteristics of muscle-skeleton lesions. Sample comprised 45 male and female bodybuilders aged 37.49±11.51 years. Data were collected with an adapted assessment card and an Inquiry on Referred Morbidity, whilst descriptive statistics employed analysis of variables. Results showed that the occurrence of lesions due to bodybuilding is high (44.4%) and lesions modified training program in most people (60%) with improvements in lesion symptoms after changes in training (80%). Within the context of lesion mechanisms, bodybuilding was mentioned (60%) and muscle distension was the type of lesion which was most reported (35%). The shoulders and the knees were the anatomic loci with highest lesion occurrences (35%). Results show that there is a need for the prevention of lesions in the population through follow-up by qualified professionals on the effects and consequences of lesions to lessen occurrence and forward a safe and lesion-less training.
