Thirty handcapped people were evaluated: fifteen started with basketball and fifteen with swimming, according either to the specific preference of each one of them or to the degree and kind of physical impairment. They were submmited to the following evaluations: clinical examination, physiotherapy assessment, social interview and use of the Rivermead Social Scale, functional classification of the sport, use of the Barthel and Rivermead Functional Scales, and the psychological profile test (POMS). After two years, no relevant change in the moving evolution of the athletes were reported. Concerning the POMS psychological test, both basketball and swimming groups presented with high vigor and low depression levels. Considering the social aspects, both groups presented substantial improvement, specially regarding their relationship to one person or more people and also in the everyday activities (be it social, leisure, or domestic), thus leading them to better social integration.

    (Human Kinetics Publ Inc, 2004-04-01) Juzwiak, Claudia Ridel [UNIFESP]; Lopez, Fábio Ancona [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The objectives of this study were to describe the dietary practices recommended by coaches working with adolescent athletes and to assess their nutritional knowledge. During a regional competition in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, 55 coaches were interviewed. These coaches represented 22 cities with athletes enrolled in Olympic gymnastics, tennis, swimming, and judo events. A 3-section questionnaire was used to obtain data on demographic characteristics, dietary recommendations, and nutrition knowledge. Results showed that all coaches recommended general dietary practices during training, with no specific strategies for pre-, during-, and post-training periods. The main objectives of the recommendations for the training period were weight control and muscle mass gain. Deleterious weight control practices were recommended by 27% of the coaches. Specific dietary practices pre and post competition were recommended by 93% and 46% of the coaches, respectively. Participants responded correctly to 70% (SD = 3.2) of the nutrition knowledge questions, with no significant differences (p =. 61) between sports. The knowledge test identified a tendency to overvalue proteins, excessively low-fat diets, and food myths. These findings indicate the importance of developing strategies that win enhance the nutritional training of coaches.

    Lesions in Shotokan Karate and Jiu-Jitsu - Direct Trauma Versus Indirect
    (Soc Brasileira Med Esporte, 2011-03-01) Souza, Jose Mario Couto de; Faim, Flavio Tomazelli; Nakashima, Ines Yoshie; Altruda, Carla Regina; Medeiros, Wladimir Musetti [UNIFESP]; Silva, Leandro Reis da; Univ Santo Amaro; Cemare; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Introduction: Karate and Jiu-Jitsu are martial arts sharing a common origin but showing distinct movement biomechanics. The main features of Shotokan Karate are the impact blows, whereas Jiu-Jitsu utilizes projections, strangulations, torsions and immobilizations. These differences can provoke different sites of lesion. Objective: To verify the frequency of lesions in Karate and Jiu-Jitsu and confront their respective lesions between the two studied groups. Methods: Ninety-four athletes from three different competitive levels (international, national and state) were transversally evaluated through an open-closed-question questionnaire. Data regarding starting age and period of training were also assessed. The T-Student test and Chi-Square test were applied for the group comparison. Statistically significant differences were considered when p < 0,05. Results: 148 lesions were reported from a sample of 53 karate players, and 160 lesions from 41 Jiu-Jitsu athletes. The most frequency site of lesion in karate was the hands and fingers (15.5%) and, in Jiu-Jitsu, the knees (16.3%). The places which presented significant differences between the two groups were: legs (p=0.042), mouth and teeth (p=0,028), neck (p=0,038), shoulder (p=0,000), elbow (p=0,001), and ear (p=0,000). Conclusion: Karate and Jiu-Jitsu show differences as regards frequency and incidence of lesion sites. These findings contribute to the elaboration of specific preventive and therapeutic measures for each sport.

    Tratamento das lesões musculares agudas da coxa com ou sem punção do hematoma em atletas
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-10-26) Sales, Rodrigo Moreira [UNIFESP]; Pochini, Alberto de Castro Pochini [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objectives: compare athletes mean time to return to sport after an acute thigh muscle injury in which a hematoma was present and was punctured or not. Methods: interventional, controlled and non-randomized clinical study with 20 amateurs and professionals athletes with acute muscle injury divided into thigh partial moderate lesions or thigh (sub)total lesions, according to Munich Consensus Statement. Nine athletes were included in the intervention group and 11 athletes in the control group. In the intervention group, the athletes underwent puncture of the hematoma associated with physical therapy and the control group underwent physical therapy. The data were tabulated in a spreadsheet (Excel template). The time to return to sport variable was analyzed by GraphPad Prism 6 via Mann-Whitney test and 95% (p<0.05) was used as a significance level. Results: the study population was composed mostly of men, eight of whom were young practitioners of sports in amateur level. There were three women, two of whom were amateur. The mean age of participants was 34.70 ± 12.79 years, and ranged from 18 to 68 years in males and 39 to 48 years in females.There were 13 patients with posterior thigh lesions, five with anterior lesions and two with adductor lesions. The mean time to return to sport considering all injuries was 48,50 ± 27,50 days in the intervention group. In the control group, this period was 102.09 ± 52.02 days revealing a significant difference between groups with p= 0.022. Conclusion: The hematoma muscle puncture is a possible alternative to address acute muscle injuries and it showed to be safe and effective to shorten time to return to sport in athletes with moderate partial muscle injuries or (sub) totals muscle injuries associated with hematomas
