Perfil de lesões relacionadas à prática esportiva em atletas de voleibol sentado: revisão sistemática

Abstract

After Paralympic insertion, sitting volleyball experienced a solid development and greater introduction of athletes in the sport, a fact that required a greater increase in intensity and frequency in training and competitions, contributing to increase competitiveness and the occurrence of injuries. The main objective of the present study is to identify the epidemiological aspects of sports injuries in seated volleyball athletes. The systematic review followed the declaration of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) platform. The search platforms selected for the research were: PubMed, BVS, SciELO, SPORTDiscus and Medline. The research included studies that presented: data on the profile of sports injuries in seated volleyball athletes; with a sample composed of competitive athletes at least 1 year old and over 18 years old; published between 1980 and 2020; in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Two independent reviewers applied the search strategy and assessed the methodological quality according to the STROBE and STROBE-SIIS statements. Duplicate removal was performed using EndNote software. After collecting eligible studies, data were expressed in tables, charts and a map. Finally, we found in the included studies a clinical incidence of 0.57 and prevalence of 54.1% of injuries, with a predominance of injuries in the upper limbs (53.8%), specifically in the shoulder (28.9%), by overload mechanism (58%), acute (66%), at the time of training (48%), resulting in absence (52%), severe (38%) and non- recurring (57%). Given this epidemiological profile, we suggest guidelines for preventive conduct, training planning and protection of the athlete's health.
