Resumo: In elderly people, concern with quality of life has led to increased interest on physical activities, among which running or jogging in the streets is the favourite. In runners, excessive ankle movements have been linked to musculoskeletal injuries. Literature has suggested elderly runners are more susceptible to running-related injuries than adults, but it is still unknown whether aging-related tissue degeneration might be associated to this. This study aimed at comparing the stance phase kinematics of running in adults and elderly runners. Seventeen adults (31±5 years old) and 17 elderly runners (69±2 years old) ran on a treadmill at 11 km/h while they were filmed by four digital cameras at 120 Hz. Rearfoot and knee joint movements were measured during the stance phase of running. The elderly runners showed lower knee flexion and lower tibial internal rotation excursion. Elderly runners apparently presented greater asynchrony between rearfoot and knee joint movement than adults. These findings suggest that during running stance elderly runners adopt different movement patterns when compared to adults. Prescription of physical activities for the elderly and prevention strategies in elderly runners should consider these findings.

A preocupação com a qualidade de vida tem levado ao aumento do interesse por atividades físicas pelos idosos. A corrida de rua é uma das atividades que obteve maior número de adeptos dessa faixa etária. Os movimentos excessivos da região do tornozelo têm sido associados às lesões musculoesqueléticas em corredores. Os achados da literatura sugerem que idosos são mais susceptíveis às lesões relacionadas à corrida do que adultos. Contudo, ainda é desconhecido se as alterações teciduais trazidas pelo envelhecimento realmente contribuem para esses resultados. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a cinemática da fase de apoio da corrida em adultos e idosos. Foram analisados 17 adultos (31±5 anos) e 17 idosos (69±2 anos) recrutados voluntariamente. Os sujeitos correram em uma esteira ergométrica a 11 km/h, enquanto eram filmados por quatro câmeras de vídeo com freqüência de 120 Hz. Os ângulos do retropé e do joelho durante a fase de apoio da corrida foram mensurados. Os idosos apresentaram menor excursão de movimentos de flexão do joelho e de rotação medial da tíbia. Aparentemente os idosos apresentaram maior assincronia entre os movimentos do retropé e do joelho em relação aos adultos. Esses resultados sugerem que os idosos adotam padrões de movimentos diferentes dos adultos durante a fase de apoio da corrida. A prescrição de exercícios e as estratégias de prevenção de lesões em idosos corredores devem considerar essas diferenças. Universidade de São Paulo.
