EVALUACIÓN DEL VOLUMEN DE CARGA AGUDA-CRÓNICA Y SU RELACIÓN CON EL DOLOR MUSCULOESQUELÉTICO EN DEPORTISTAS DE TRAIL RUNNING

Abstract

The present study was carried out with the aim of determining the acute-chronic load volume and its relationship with musculoskeletal pain in trail running athletes. The ACWR is a tool that helps to quantify acute-chronic training loads and is used to prevent and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain. Twenty-seven athletes with musculoskeletal pain of both sexes aged 18 to 60 years were evaluated. The acutechronic workload tool (ACWR) and the numerical pain scale (NRS) were used. The present research work adopted a quantitative approach, using instruments such as the ACWR and the NRS producing relevant numerical values to be associated with Pearson's statistical test. It is a longitudinal descriptive study seeking to evaluate training loads and correlational type by associating acute-chronic loads with pain. It was obtained as a result between the relationship of training loads with musculoskeletal pain, NRS (p= 0.586), these results are correlated with suffering musculoskeletal injuries. In conclusion, excessive training loads are associated with significant discomfort in athletes, determining that ACWR should be taken into account in every evaluation of trail running athletes to avoid future injuries.
