Prevalência de lesões em atletas brasileiros de basquetebol

O basquetebol é um esporte de alta intensidade com movimentos que predispõem a lesões musculoesqueléticas, especialmente em membros inferiores. Apesar de sua popularidade no Brasil, há escassez de dados epidemiológicos sobre lesões em atletas amadores e profissionais.

Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de lesões em atletas amadores e profissionais de basquetebol no Brasil.

Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal descritivo por meio de um questionário online aplicado a 103 atletas amadores e profissionais de basquete. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, de prática esportiva e histórico de lesões.

Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do sexo masculino (89,3%), na faixa etária de 18–24 anos (40,8%). A prevalência de lesões foi de 73,8%. As lesões articulares/ligamentares foram as mais frequentes (44,7%), com tornozelo (30,1%) e joelho (27,2%) como as localizações mais afetadas. A maioria das lesões ocorreu durante jogos (37,9%) ou treinos (35,9%). Quase metade dos atletas (44,7%) recorreu à fisioterapia.

Conclusão: A alta prevalência de lesões, principalmente em membros inferiores, reflete as demandas biomecânicas do esporte e a falta de programas preventivos estruturados no basquete. Os resultados reforçam a necessidade de implementar diretrizes de prevenção e orientação específicas para essa população.
