Introduction. Daily
exercise is not a routine. For those dedicated it is a way of life and
methodology of practice is well settled. Whether it is indoor or
outdoor, in absence of a supervised control fitness amateurs are
exposed to high injury risks, many of them with functional and
psychological consequences.
Methods. Information
regarding the aim, sport activity and training modalities have been
requested. Clinic x-rays and imagistic evaluation settled the
diagnosis.
Results.
Patients, mostly male (76.19 %), median age (24.1 years), prominent
sports: basket ball, football, with weight training, aerobic dance,
bicycling; training aim: leisure and pleasure (14 patients =>
33.33%), body remodeling and weight loss (28 patients =>
66.66%); mostly affected: ankle,
Achilles tendon, knee,
shoulder, rotator cuff muscles, cervical and lumbar spine; after
recovery only 19 patients can continue the same sport
activity.
Conclusions. Regular
exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. The key is to find the
right exercise for everyone. Injuries can be prevented with controlled
proper conditioning and training wearing appropriate protective gear
and using the correct equipment.
Key words:
fitness, injuries, controlled training.
