Effects of chronic pain in highly competitive athletes on the body schema, motor performance and humor states

Abstract: O esquema corporal (EC) e a capacidade de reconhecer as partes e dimensoes do corpo de olhos fechados. Hiperesquematia e hipoesquematia sao alteracoes dessa percepcao. A presenca e a intensidade de uma dor cronica podem interferir no EC e tambem alterar os estados de humor. Avaliamos o EC de atletas de alto rendimento (homens e mulheres), com dor cronica, de modo a identifi car os efeitos da dor na agilidade motora e nos estados de humor. Trinta e seis sujeitos foram divididos em dois grupos: 1) ativos, sem dor (n=20) e 2) atletas com dor cronica (n=16). Para avaliar o EC utilizamos o Procedimento de Marcacao do Esquema Corporal (IMP) e o Aparato Cinestesico de Estimativa de Largura Corporal (KSEA). A quantidade de pontos dolorosos foi avaliada por meio da digitopressao, a agilidade motora pelo teste de Grooved Pegboard e os estados de humor pelo teste POMS. O EC dos grupos mostrou hipoesquematia para a altura e hiperesquematia para a largura dos demais segmentos, principalmente a cintura. O grupo com dor apresentou diferenca signifi cativa entre os sexos: os homens apresentaram maior percepcao da largura entre os ombros e a cintura; as mulheres entre os trocânteres. O KSEA mostrou hiperesquematia em todos os segmentos corporais no grupo sem dor, e o grupo com dor hipoesquematia (exceto para a largura da cintura). A quantidade de pontos dolorosos nao foi diferente entre os grupos. A agilidade motora foi maior nas mulheres com dor. Com relacao a saude mental os homens com dor apresentaram prevalencia de fadiga e confusao enquanto as mulheres a raiva. Concluimos que a dor cronica nao interferiu no esquema corporal, nos estados de humor assim como nao diminui o desempenho motor dos atletas de alto rendimento deste estudo.

Level of Physical Activity on the Body Image of Young Women

Abstract: Physical exercise has the ability to alter the measurements of the body related to esthetic. The objective of the present study was to compare the body image and body esthetic between two groups of women with different levels of physical activity. We evaluated 79 women who were divided into 2 groups: 39 women with low or moderate levels of physical activity, and 40 women with high levels of physical activity according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken using the InBody S10 multifrequency device (InBody Co., Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea). The scale of silhouettes, which is composed of 9 engravings of body images, was used to verify the body image, as well as the Portuguese version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) validated for university students. The group of evaluators was composed of twenty physical education professionals of both sexes, ten male and ten female. The group with low/moderate levels of physical activity, as expected, showed a lower amount (minutes per week) of physical activity of mild, moderate and vigorous intensity when compared with the group with high levels of physical activity (p 0.05). The overall body esthetic score, attributed only by the male and only by the female evaluators, did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). We concluded that the level of physical activity did not influence the body image and body esthetic of the women.
