Resumo: The incidence of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) is a constant concern in all Armed Forces. Among risk factors for MSIs, physical training and sports can be considered the most frequent cause in military. In this sense, the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence rate of musculoskeletal injuries, identifying the anatomical distribution and its association with risk factors such as: body composition, age and physical training over the past 12 months. Three hundred fifty-one male cadets from the first year of the Brazilian Army officers training course and four hundred and fifty six students from the logistics sergeants training course (three hundred seventy-five male and eighty one female) volunteered to fill in a self-reported questionnaire which was developed based on a literature review and the clinical experience of the investigators. It contained questions concerning anatomical site of the MSIs, hours of physical activities per week, type of activities at the moment of injury and days of absences in physical activities. Among 807 subjects studied, 180 military have reported 220 MSIs. From this total, 143 have presented a single injury, 34 have suffered two injuries and three subjects have had three injuries each one during the last 12 months. Knee was the anatomical site with the higher incidence (7.06%) of MSIs over a 12-month period. Running was the activity with the higher incidence (11.77%) of injuries over a 12-month, accounting for 43.18% of all MSIs. When considered all activities of physical training, the MSIs incidence rate over a 12-month was 17.97%, which represents 71.36% of all MSIs. In young militaries, the largest amount musculoskeletal injuries occurred in the lower extremities and during military physical training, with running being the main activity in which the injuries occurred. Population, gender and body composition was not significantly associated with these types of injuries, while older age was associated in this study. The gradual and systematic progression of distance and speed during running training should be emphasized to prevent MSIs.

Entre os fatores de risco para LME, treinamentos físicos e esportes podem ser considerados a causa mais frequente em militares. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a taxa de incidência de lesões musculoesqueléticas, identificar a distribuição anatômica e sua associação com fatores de risco, tais como: composição corporal, idade e treinamento físico nos últimos 12 meses. Trezentos e cinquenta e um cadetes do primeiro ano da Escola Preparatória de Cadetes do Exército brasileiro e quatrocentos e cinquenta e seis alunos do curso de Sargento logístico (trezentos e setenta e cinco homens e oitenta e uma mulheres) se ofereceram para preencher um questionário auto relatado que foi desenvolvido com base em uma revisão da literatura e a experiência clínica dos pesquisadores. Ele continha perguntas sobre o local anatômico das LME, horas de atividades físicas por semana, tipo de atividades no momento da lesão e dias de ausência ematividades físicas. Entre 807 sujeitos estudados, 180 militares relataram 220 LME. A partir deste total, 143 apresentaram uma única lesão, 34 sofreram duas lesões e três indivíduos tiveram três lesões cada nos últimos 12 meses. O joelho foi o local anatômico com maior incidência (7,06%) de LME ao longo de um período de 12 meses. A corrida foi a atividade com maior incidência (11,77%) de lesões ao longo de 12 meses, representando 43,18% de todas as LME. Quando considerado todas as atividades de treinamento físico, a taxa de incidência de MSI ao longo de um período de 12 meses foi de 17,97%, o que representa 71,36% de todas as LME. Em militares jovens, a maior quantidade de lesões musculoesqueléticas ocorreu nas extremidades inferiores e durante o treinamento físico militar, sendo a corrida a principal atividade na qual ocorreram as lesões. População, gênero e composição corporal não foram significativamente associadosa esses tipos de lesões, enquanto a idade avançada foi associada neste estudo. A progressão gradual e sistemática da distância e da velocidade durante o treinamento em corrida deve ser enfatizada para evitar LME. EDUFU2018-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/4143210.14393/BJ-v34n6a2018-41432Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 34 No. 6 (2018): Nov./Dec.; 1744-1750Bioscience Journal ; v. 34 n. 6 (2018): Nov./Dec.; 1744-17501981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/41432/24863Brazil; ContemporaryCopyright (c) 2018 Eduardo Borba Neves, Rafael Chieza Fortes Garcia, Rafael Melo de Oliveira, Eduardo Camillo Martinezhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNeves, Eduardo BorbaGarcia, Rafael Chieza FortesOliveira, Rafael Melo deMartinez, Eduardo Camillo2022-02-08T02:08:50Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/41432Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-02-08T02:08:50Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
