In the first phase, horses were splited into two groups after nested-PCR measurement (T. equi positive TP, n=6, and T. equi negative TN, n=5). The variables were measured during two treadmill tests with ten days of interval between the first and second test. 2.4 mg/kg IM one injection every 24 hours over two days was administered starting 24 hours after the 1st test, and the results compared by Tukey test (p 0.05). Regarding the lactate threshold, there was only statistical difference during the 1st day of comparison. BG and HR(V150 and V180) remained without significant changes during the two speed tests. In the second phase, a control group (CT, n = 11), and later, based on nested-PCR test, two treated groups (Theileria positive TP, n = 6 and Theileria negative TN, n = 5), were followed for 40 days through biochemical analysis of muscle, kidney, liver and hematology (white and red blood cell count). The treated groups received two doses of IMZ (2.4 mg/kg IM one injection every 24 hours over two days) days 2 and 3 and two more doses after 30 days (day 31 and 32).

Dessa forma, torna-se mister compreender a prevalência das lesões associando-a ao grau de comprometimento atlético na tentativa de prevenir e minimizar suas consequências. Com esse estudo, através das análises dos registros do Departamento de Radiologia do Hospital Octavio Dupont (JCB/RJ) e da base de dados do Stud Book Brasileiro objetivou-se estabelecer, inicialmente, as correspondências entre as principais lesões diagnosticadas, gênero, faixa etária, membro lesionado, localização da lesão (1ª etapa). Subsequentemente avaliou-se o grau de comprometimento de desempenho competitivo de tais lesões através da categorização do desempenho (2ª etapa). Na primeira etapa, observouse prevalência de lesões em machos da faixa etária de três a cinco anos. Os membros torácicos, principalmente o direito, foram os mais lesionados. As lesões situadas no terço médio dos membros foram frequentes, assim como as fraturas. As lesões altas e as sediadas no membro torácico direito corresponderam em sua maioria com fêmeas. As lesões no membro torácico esquerdo e as periostites foram associadas aos machos com idade superior a cinco anos. Na segunda etapa da análise, encontrou-se correspondência entre o período de inatividade curto, após lesões, com o coeficiente de comprometimento alto com reflexo negativo no desempenho. Conclui-se que as lesões nos membros torácicos independem do direcionamento da pista. O período de inatividade foi determinante para queda de desempenho. As variáveis categóricas de desempenho foram determinantes na avaliação do comportamento atlético. / Musculoskeletal injuries are responsible for the shortness of career and competitive decline of high performance horses. Thus, it is mister understand the prevalence of injuries associated with the degree of commitment to keep on mind to prevent and minimize its consequences. This study, by analyzing the records of the Department of Radiology, Hospital Octavio Dupont (JCB / RJ) and the database of the Brazilian Stud Book was aimed to establish, initially, the connections between the main injury diagnosis, gender, age, member injured, location of lesion (1st stage). Subsequently, it was evaluated the degree of commitment of the competitive performance of such injuries through the categorization (2nd stage). In the first stage, there was prevalence of lesions in the male, aged of three to five years. Forelimbs, mainly the right, were the most frequently injured. Lesions located in the middle third of the limbs were frequently associated with fractures. Lesions located in the proximal aspect of forelimbs had high correspondence with females. Lesions in the left forelimbs and periostitis were associated with males aged over five years. In the second stage of analysis, there was found correspondence between the shortness of inactivity, after injury, with high of involvement with negative on the performance. It is concluded that the forelimb lesions were independent of the race track directions. The period of inactivity was decisive to explain the loss of performance. The categorization of performance variable was determinant to measure the horse athletic behavior.

Porém, diversos pontos de discussão são verificados nesses estudos, entre eles, a ausência de um protocolo padrão para a coleta de dados de lesões no esporte paralímpico que abranja aspectos intrínsecos e extrínsecos relacionados às mesmas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi desenvolver um protocolo de dados de lesão esportiva no esporte paralímpico, multimodalidade, multideficiência, multifatorial e acessível. A pesquisa teve início com uma revisão de literatura a respeito das modalidades esportivas paralímpicas, definição e características das lesões esportivas, modelos de interação de fatores internos e externos relacionados á lesão esportiva, medidas epidemiológicas e tipos de estudos epidemiológicos. Em seguida, com o entendimento sobre a utilização de questionários eletrônicos e elaboração de uma base de dados, foi desenvolvido o sistema de Protocolo de Lesão Esportiva no Esporte Paralímpico (PLEEP), que tem como principais características ser um sistema de coleta de dados no esporte paralímpico, multideficiência, multiesporte, de fácil utilização, baixo custo e acessível. O PLEEP é composto de seis blocos principais de dados: termo de consentimento, dados da deficiência, dados da modalidade, diário de treinamento, diário de competição e lesão esportiva. O sistema PLEEP é capaz de obter dados das características das lesões esportivas e seus fatores internos e externos, determinando aspectos gerais e específicos de cada modalidade e deficiência. Os resultados obtidos com a utilização do PLEEP não beneficiarão apenas cientistas envolvidos com pesquisas, mas também as diversas áreas que abrangem o esporte paralímpico, como: treinamento, administração e logística de eventos esportivos, indústria esportiva, entre outras inúmeras áreas envolvidas no esporte / Abstract: The topic of sports injuries in Paralympic sport has been researched since 1980, being most of the researches developed in the last twelve years. However, several discussion points are checked in these studies; among them, there is the lack of a standard protocol for collecting sport injury data on Paralympic sport covering the characteristics as well as intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The aim of this study was to develop a multisport, multidisability, multifactorial, and affordable protocol for sport injury data collection in Paralympic sports. The research began with a literature review about the Paralympic sports, definition and characteristics of sports injuries, interaction models of internal and external factors related to sports injury, epidemiological measures, and types of epidemiological studies. Then, with the understanding on the use of electronic questionnaires and construction of database, the Sports Injuries Protocol for Paralympic Sports (PLEEP) was developed. This system is composed of six main blocks of data: consent form, disability data, sport data, training log, competition log, and sports injury/illness. The SIPPS is able to obtain data on the characteristics of sports injuries and their internal and external factors, determining general and specific aspects of each modality and disability. The results obtained from the use of SIPPS not only benefit scientists involved in research, but also the various areas covering the Paralympic sport, such as: training, administration and logistics of sporting events, sports industry, and other areas involved / Doutorado / Atividade Fisica Adaptada / Doutora em Educação Física

M.Tech. / Purpose: To determine the effect of Chiropractic spinal adjustive therapy (SAT) of the lumbar spine and Sacroiliac joints on performance utilising indicators such as vertical jump height and T-test time of moderate to highly active sport participants. It has been suggested that a dysfunctional vertebral subluxation complex can cause a decrease in performance. The decreased performance may be due to dysfunctional biomechanics and altered neurological functioning of the lumbar spine and Sacroiliac joints. Methods: A randomised study design with thirty asymptomatic male subjects, which were moderate to highly active as indicated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), participated in this study. Participants were divided into two equal groups, group A (n=15) received Chiropractic SAT of the lumbar spine and Sacroiliac joints, group B (n=15) were rested for five minutes. The study design consisted of six consultations, with intervention being applied at each consultation between objective measurements. Objective data was obtained by the vertical jump test and T-test which determined participant’s explosive power and agility respectively. Objective data was obtained before and after intervention on each of the six consultations. The immediate effect of intervention was represented by the before versus the after measurements of consultations. The short term effect was represented by comparing the before values of consultation one (baseline) to consultation six. Results: The objective results showed that there was a short term and immediate improvement in vertical jump height and T-test time of both groups. With vertical jump height group A showed an immediate mean improvement of 3.845 cm (7%) and a short term mean improvement of 0.74 cm (1%); group B showed an immediate mean improvement of 1.6 cm (3%) and a short term mean improvement of 1.47 cm (3%). With the T-test time group A showed an immediate mean improvement of 0.433 s (4%) and a short term mean improvement v of 0.673 (6%); group B showed a immediate mean improvement of 0.1745 s (2%) and a short term mean improvement of 0.6 s (5%). Conclusion: Although results obtained were not statistically significant (p>0.05), it demonstrated from a clinical perspective that interventions caused an improvement in jump height and T-test time in both groups. Group A showed a greater improvement in every aspect, except in the short term effect of Chiropractic SAT on vertical jump height. It is therefore postulated that improvements noted were as a result of the adjustment providing an enhanced biomechanical and neurological advantage, and therefore in performance indicators such as the vertical jump test and T-test in the participants.
