Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência de lesões osteomusculares em corredores amadores de Imperatriz-MA, identificando fatores de risco associados e propondo estratégias preventivas baseadas em evidências. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo com 263 corredores amadores vinculados a grupos locais de corrida em Imperatriz-MA. A coleta de dados foi realizada por questionário eletrônico, abordando variáveis sociodemográficas, características da prática esportiva, histórico de lesões, fatores nutricionais e comportamentos preventivos. Resultados: Observou-se maior prevalência de lesões nas regiões do joelho, perna/canela e tornozelo, com destaque para fraturas por estresse e tendinite de Aquiles. Fatores como menor tempo de prática, ausência de orientação profissional, treinamento em superfícies rígidas e baixa adoção de medidas preventivas estiveram associados a maior ocorrência de lesões. A pior qualidade do sono também apresentou associação com maior incidência de lesões, indicando aumento do risco em corredores com sono inadequado. Conclusão: Os achados evidenciam a necessidade de estratégias educativas e intervenções preventivas voltadas aos corredores amadores.
