Corredores, veteranos, carrera, resistencia, atletasResumo
Nos últimos anos houve um grande aumento na prática de esportes de resistência como a corrida de longa distância, praticada principalmente por adultos entre 35 e 55 anos. A maioria dessa população não praticou esportes anteriormente e enfrenta esse esporte sem a devida prescrição, expondo-se a diversos riscos à sua saúde. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o perfil sociodemográfico do corredor veterano, bem como os benefícios e riscos dessa prática esportiva. Quase 50% dos corredores sofrem lesões a cada ano, em muitos casos associadas ao volume de treinamento. Outros riscos de natureza cardiovascular, como fibrilação atrial, podem estar relacionados a anos de treinamento e competição de alta intensidade. Além disso, a corrida de resistência pode expor os corredores a riscos psicossociais, como o vício negativo em esportes. Embora os benefícios deste esporte sempre superem os riscos. Tanto a determinação do estado de saúde prévio como a prescrição adequada do treino são dois elementos essenciais na gestão dos riscos a que estão expostos os corredores veteranos.
Palavras-chave: Corredores, veteranos, riscos, resistência.
