Abstract(s)
Introdução: o futebol americano é um desporto dinâmico e de contacto, constituído por duas equipas, com 11 jogadores cada lado, uma que defende e outra que ataca. Por ser um jogo de grande contacto, ocorrem frequentemente lesões na cervical. Objetivo: verificar o tipo de lesões cervicais mais frequentes no futebol americano, assim como analisar o risco, a incidência e a severidade das mesmas. Metodologia: foi efetuada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed, PEDro e Web of Science para identificar estudos que abordassem lesões na cervical em atletas masculinos de futebol americano, integrados na National Football League ou National Collegiate Athletic Association ou High School Football, a partir do ano 2009 até 2021. Resultados: as lesões mais frequentemente referidas foram a lesão do plexo braquial e a dor/tensão cervical. Estas lesões ocorrem maioritariamente durante a temporada, e são causadas por contacto com outro jogador. Os jogadores que ocupam as posições line backer, defensive secondary, e running back foram os que sofreram um maior número de lesões. Constatou-se também que a maioria das lesões são primárias, na maioria das lesões necessitam apenas de uma paragem ou alteração do gesto desportivo de um tempo inferior a 24h, ou de 1 a 6 dias. Conclusão: Independentemente da época desportiva e do nível competitivo, parece existir um padrão lesivo no Futebol Americano.
Introduction: American Football is a dynamic and contact sport, made up of two teams, with 11 players on each side, one defending and the other attacking. As it is a great contact game, cervical injuries often occur. Aim: verify the most frequent type of cervical injuries in American football, as well as analyze their risk, incidence and severity. Metodology: a search was carried out in the PubMed, PEDro and Web of Science databases to identify studies that addressed cervical injuries in male American Football athletes, as part of the National Football League or National Collegiate Athletic Association or High School Football, from the year 2009 until 2021. Results: the most frequently reported injuries were brachial plexus injury and cervical pain/tension. These injuries mostly occur during the season, and are caused by contact with another player. The players who occupy the linebacker, defensive secondary and running back positions were the ones who suffered the greatest number of injuries. It was also found that most injuries are primary, in most injuries they only require a stop or change in the sporting gesture for a period of less than 24 hours, or 1 to 6 days. Conclusion: Regardless of the sporting season and competitive level, there seems to be a harmful pattern in American Football.
