RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of Pilates exercises on flexibility and performance in practitioners of an extreme conditioning program (ECP). The hypothesis adopted was that Pilates could activate deeper muscles and improve the stability of core muscles. METHODS: This was an observational cross-sectional study with individuals practicing an ECP submitted to a Pilates method (PM) exercise session. The Wells bench test was used to assess flexibility, while performance was evaluated using the Wall Ball exercise commonly performed by ECP practitioners. The perception of effort was measured using the Borg scale. RESULTS: A single session of PM exercises was able to significantly improve flexibility immediately after the exercises (p < 0.001) and performance in one of the movements of the ECP (p < 0.001), as well as decrease the perception of effort. CONCLUSION: An acute intervention with Pilates exercises promoted improvement in performance of the CrossFit Wall Ball exercise.

The interest in soccer generally starts during childhood, with children and young people often looking for opportunities in sports. New exercise techniques can be effective in improving training. The aim of this study was to compare the effects on the strength and physical posture of a group practicing Pilates with another not practicing Pilates, both undergoing continuous football training. In this controlled randomized clinical trial, the participants were 15 soccer club members, who had a training frequency of least three times weekly. The sample was divided into a control group (n = 7) of players who did not undergo any therapeutic intervention (only the usual training) and a Pilates group (n = 8) of players who participated in the mat Pilates program. The intervention consisted of fifteen sessions. Postural evaluations were performed using biophotogrammetry and force analysis. Significant improvements were obtained in terms of increased muscle strength (p = 0.001) for the Pilates group, but there were no significant postural alterations when comparing the two groups. Five weeks of mat Pilates was sufficient to increase lower limb muscle strength in young football players. This pilot study indicates that Mat Pilates as a method that could be planned to be included in training.

Cryotherapy, a therapeutic technique involving localized cooling of the body, has gained popularity for postsurgical rehabilitation. It induces a reduction in cellular metabolism, vasoconstriction, and pain relief, making it an attractive option for managing postoperative (PO) shoulder pain. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of cryotherapy in PO shoulder patients, focusing on pain, range of motion, functionality, and temperature changes. The review included six randomized clinical trials, involving a total of 233 patients who underwent various shoulder surgeries. Cryotherapy was applied using different methods, including Cryo/Cuff, Cryoton®, Polar Care 300, and ice packs. Results indicated that cryotherapy was generally effective in reducing PO shoulder pain. However, one study found no significant difference in pain outcomes between the cryotherapy group and control group. Furthermore, three studies demonstrated a decrease in intra-articular and skin temperatures with cryotherapy application. A risk of bias analysis revealed some concerns in the overall risk of bias for five studies, with one study considered to have a high risk of bias. Although publication bias assessment was not conducted due to the limited number of included studies, it was noted that the studies exhibited heterogeneity in terms of population, intervention methods, and outcome measures. In conclusion, cryotherapy appears to be a promising adjunctive treatment for PO shoulder pain, although the existing evidence has some limitations, including small sample sizes and methodological concerns. More high-quality studies are needed to establish the full extent of cryotherapy's effectiveness in PO shoulder rehabilitation, especially regarding its impact on functionality and range of motion.
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the knowledge about scoliosis in teachers of municipal public schools. Methods: In total, 126 professionals were interviewed using a standard questionnaire containing issues related to scoliosis. Results: 31% of interviewees did not know what scoliosis is. Of those who knew 89.65% were partially correct about the definition. Of those who claimed to know how the scoliosis diagnosis is made, only 25.58% were completely correct. When questioned about the Adams test, 84.9% did not know it. Among the interviewees, 57.9% answered that it is impossible to identify scoliosis by a simple examination of their students and, off these, 86.3% stated the lack of knowledge about the subject; and 92.1% considered that training for the diagnosis and early identification of scoliosis in students. Conclusion: This study holds social impact since the interviewed teachers were not knowledgeable about the subject and had difficulty in providing a definition of the condition and in how to proceed with the investigation. Continuous education activities and the inclusion of this subject on the curricula of teacher education programs would improve the early diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, with high success rates. Level of Evidence IV, Economic and Decision Analyses.

RESUMO
O objetivo do estudo foi determinar a prevalência de lesões e realizar uma triagem dessas lesões em praticantes de Crossfit. Os praticantes responderam perguntas sociodemográficas, relacionadas à prática da modalidade, às lesões e ao Questionário de Prontidão para o Esporte com Foco nas Lesões Musculoesqueléticas (MIR-Q). Dos 368 praticantes avaliados, 57,33% eram mulheres, 54,61% dos praticantes responderam SIM em pelo menos uma das questões do MIR-Q, 48,91% relataram lesão em pelo menos um segmento corporal. Neste estudo foi encontrada uma relação positiva e moderada de se ter uma lesão com o resultado positivo no MIR-Q e os praticantes que relataram uma lesão tiveram 2,76 mais vezes ter resultado positivo no MIR-Q. A taxa deâ¯lesõesâ¯encontrada foi semelhante à de outros estudos com populações semelhantes e que mais da metade da amostra necessita de uma consulta com um especialista, a partir do método de triagem adotado.
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of injuries and to screen these injuries in Crossfit practitioners. The practitioners answered sociodemographic questions related to the practice of the sport, injuries and the Sport Readiness Questionnaire with a Focus on Musculoskeletal Injuries (MIR-Q). Of the 368 practitioners evaluated, 57.33% were women, 54.61% of the practitioners answered YES in at least one of the MIR-Q questions, 48.91% reported injury to at least one body segment. In this study, a positive and moderate relationship between having an injury and a positive result on the MIR-Q was found and practitioners who reported an injury had 2.76 odds to have a positive result on the MIR-Q. The rate of injuries found was similar to other studies with similar populations and that more than half of the sample requires consultation with a specialist, based on the adopted screening method.
RESUMO
O objetivo do estudo foi explorar as opiniões das voluntárias de um protocolo de treinamento pliométrico associado a exercícios resistidos (TPER) e virtual (TV) para prevenção de lesões. Essa abordagem foi escolhida, pois as percepções dos pacientes em geral podem ser negligenciadas. A coleta de dados ocorreu com dois grupos focais (GFs), e para isso formalizou-se o convite a sete participantes de cada um deles que já houvessem finalizado o treinamento. Realizou-se um encontro, com duração média de 60 minutos para cada grupo de intervenção, e um moderador treinado o conduziu; as sessões foram gravadas em áudio e transcritas posteriormente para análise. As participantes relataram em ambos os treinos o aumento do condicionamento físico, resistência e força muscular. Concluiu-se que no TPER foi mais destacada a melhora do equilíbrio e estabilidade de membros inferiores, já no TV isso ocorreu em relação à concentração e à disposição para a rotina diária.
The aim of the study was to explore the opinions of the volunteers about the plyometric training protocol associated with resistance (PTRE) and virtual (VT) exercises for injury prevention. This approach was chosen considering that patients' perceptions in general could be neglected. Data collection took place with two Focus Groups (FGs) and to this end, an invitation was made to seven participants from both groups who had already completed the training. A meeting was held, with an average duration of 60 minutes for each intervention group, and a trained moderator conducted it; the sessions were recorded on audio and later transcribed for analysis. The participants reported the increase of physical conditioning, endurance and muscle strength in both training sessions. It was concluded that in PTRE, the issue of improved balance and stability of lower limbs was highlighted, while in VT the improvement of concentration and disposition for the daily routine.
RESUMO
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of postural changes and their relationship with BMI, pain, postures adopted in activities of the daily living (ADL), physical activity practice, gender and age (6 to 12 years). This study is characterized as cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive. The convenience sample consisted of 840 schoolchildren. Regarding the sample characteristics, 477 (56.79%) were female aged 6-12 years (average=8.90±1.71years). Evaluations were carried out at the school premises and a questionnaire was used to collect data on gender, age, pain report, practice of out-of-school physical activities and postures adopted in ADLs. Body mass, height and posture were evaluated. Some schoolchildren (43.21%) reported not practicing physical activity outside of school, 544 (64.76%) correctly carried their backpack and 51.9% adopted correct postures to study and watch TV. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 62.73%, and shoulders were the most affected. BMI indicated 55.6% of the sample with leanness/normal weight and 44.40% with overweight/obesity. Postural changes were present in 97.02% of students and the region with the highest number of alterations was the upper limbs. Girls presented greater number of trunk alterations (p=0.001), as well as those who did not practice physical activity (p=0.02) and alterations in the lower limbs for younger students (p=0.02) and female students (p=0.01). This study identified high prevalence of postural changes in schoolchildren.
Resumo O objetivo é avaliar a prevalência de alterações posturais e suas relações com o índice de massa corporal (IMC), dor, posturas adotadas em atividades de vida diária (AVDs), prática de atividades físicas, sexo e idade (6 a 12 anos). Caracteriza-se como transversal, quantitativa e descritiva. A amostra de conveniência foi constituída por 840 escolares. Quanto as características dos escolares, 477 (56,79%) eram do sexo feminino, na faixa etária de 6 a 12 anos (Média=8,90±1,71 anos). As avaliações foram realizadas nas dependências das escolas e um questionário foi aplicado para coleta dos dados: sexo, idade, relato de dor, prática de atividades físicas fora da escola e posturas adotadas nas AVDs. Verificou-se a massa corporal, estatura e a avaliação da postura. Alguns escolares (43,21%) relataram não praticar atividade física fora da escola, 544 (64,76%) carregavam corretamente a mochila e 51,9% adotava posturas corretas para estudar e assistir televisão. A dor musculoesquelética foi relatada por 62,73%, sendo os ombros a região mais acometida. O IMC indicou 55,6% com magreza/eutrofia e 44,40% com sobrepeso/obesidade. As alterações posturais foram apresentadas por 97,02% dos escolares e a região com maior número de alterações foi o membro superior. O sexo feminino apresentou maior número de alterações no tronco (p?0,001), os que não praticavam atividade física (p?0.02) e também nos membros inferiores para os escolares mais novos (p?0.02) e do sexo feminino (p?0.01). Este estudo identificou uma alta prevalência de alterações posturais em escolares.
RESUMO
O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a amplitude de movimento articular de praticantes de um programa de condicionamento extremo. O estudo transversal, descritivo, caracteriza-se por uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa. Os praticantes responderam perguntas sociodemográficas, relacionadas à prática da modalidade, se possuía alguma dor/desconforto articular e realizaram testes para a avaliação da amplitude articular de ombro, punho, quadril e tornozelo. Os testes realizados foram: Reverse Wall Slide para o ombro, Weight-Bearing Box Test para o punho, Supine Kness-To-Chest para o quadril e Weight-Bearing Lunge Test para a articulação do tornozelo. Foram avaliados 46 praticantes, sendo 26 mulheres e 20 homens. Os resultados foram analisados e apresentados de forma descritiva com cálculo da média e desvio padrão. Nos praticantes avaliados cerca de 30,43%; 80,45%; 58,69% e 60,28% apresentaram avaliação positiva para a amplitude de movimento de ombro, punho, quadril e tornozelo, respectivamente. Foi encontrado correlação positiva e fraca somente entre o resultado do teste de mobilidade do tornozelo e dor/desconforto.(AU)
