Resumo

Os Jogos Escolares Brasileiros são um evento multiesportivo que reúne atletas de todo o país, com o objetivo de promover a participação esportiva. No entanto, o risco de lesões é inerente à prática esportiva. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar e descrever as lesões em atletas jovens participantes dos Jogos Escolares Brasileiros de 2023 (JEB’s). Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico observacional, transversal e descritivo, que analisou as lesões de 750 atletas com idades entre 12 e 14 anos. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante 14 dias, incluindo atendimentos em pronto-socorro e consultas ambulatoriais. As lesões musculares foram as mais frequentes (48,8%), seguidas pelas lesões articulares (34,53%), ósseas (11,06%), tendíneas (5,06%) e ligamentares (1,06%). As regiões mais acometidas foram o tornozelo (16,13%), o joelho (15,6%) e a coxa (14,66%). Futsal, basquetebol e handebol foram as modalidades esportivas com maior incidência de lesões, representando 22%, 12% e 9,6% dos casos, respectivamente. Os traumatismos cranianos foram registrados com baixa frequência (8 casos). Houve predominância de atendimentos ambulatoriais (63,03%), e 8,93% dos casos necessitaram de afastamento das competições. A análise destacou diferenças na distribuição das lesões entre os sexos, com maior frequência observada entre as atletas do sexo feminino (57,46%). Conclui-se que a análise epidemiológica é essencial para compreender o perfil das lesões e, assim, direcionar de maneira mais eficaz a atenção à saúde do atleta.
