Lesões musculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o salto vertical em atletas de elite de voleibol: Revisão narrativa

Abstract

Introduction: Volleyball became popular, and the number of injuries caused by the practice of this sport also has grown to become a concern for health. Most lesions in volleyball are related to the jump-landing motion. The large amount of vertical jump, the high volume of game and ceaseless training can be predisposing factors to acute injury or overuse in volleyball. Objective: To identify the most frequent injuries and disorders associated with the vertical jump in volleyball in order to promote prevention strategies to minimize the risk of injury. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed and Scopus who sought articles related to volleyball, frequent injuries during the jump-landing. Results: We included seven articles involving a total of 279 individuals. Of 7 articles, 4 addressed on patellar tendinopathy (TP), 2 on lesions in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and 1 on ankle sprain. Discussion: 4 articles that addressed the TP scored the decrease of mechanical energy absorption in the eccentric phase of the jump by the patellar tendon, the ability to jump high added to the unceasing practice, and the reduction in quadriceps extensibility are possible causes of injury volleyball athletes. The two articles injury ACL link for diversity jump-landing techniques, and that some favor greater impact on the ACL as the hop-jump techniques and the step-back compared with the set-close-jump techniques and stick . But the article that talked about ankle sprains, demosntrou that the great strength of plantar flexors and the reduction of DF ADM during the vertical jump landing increase the risk of ankle sprain. Conclusion: Volleyball players with a natural ability to jump, must be accompanied by have higher chances of injury as TP and ankle sprain. Techniques that reduce impact on the joints of the legs are passed on to athletes as the set-close-jump techniques and stick. Further studies are needed to stipulate a safe amount of running vertical jumps during training and matches.
