An analytical transversal cut study was performed involving 163 gymnastics teachers working in the main gyms in the city of Salvador-BA. For evaluation of pain, validated versions in Portuguese of the McGill Protocol and the Wisconsin Pain Inventory were used. For obtain results of descriptive statistical analysis of the collected data was performed, followed by TStudent, and Pearson and Spearman correlation tests to verify possible correlations between the presence of pain and other variables which were considered independent.

Results: The painful symptoms was reported by 88.3% of the subjects surveyed. High pain levels were observed in 63.8% of the interviewed professionals, where the intensity varied from moderate to severe. Pain in the lumbar region was present in 55.2% of subjects.

Para a identifica??o dos potenciais fatores de risco associados ? sintomatologia dolorosa uma an?lise de regress?o log?stica bin?ria. O valor de p < 0,05 foi considerado para toda an?lise estat?stica. Resultados: A sintomatologia dolorosa foi relatada por 88,3 % dos sujeitos pesquisados. Observaram-se n?veis elevados de dor em 63,8% dos entrevistados, onde a intensidade variou de moderada ? severa. A dor na regi?o lombar esteve presente em 55,2% dos sujeitos. Foram verificadas correla??es positivas entre o grau de intensidade da dor e as vari?veis relacionadas com a carga da atividade laboral e da vida cotidiana dos professores em quase todas as articula??es do corpo analisadas. Verificaram-se v?rios fatores associados ? sintomatologia dolorosa como a idade dos profissionais, a carga hor?ria di?ria de trabalho laboral, e a falta de intervalo de repouso entre as aulas.
