Abstract

Every physical activity demands a certain amount of physical effort in order to be executed and the same rule applies to the professional of physical education from whom the invested effort many times goes beyond his or her level of preparation. This study’s goal is to verify the injuries that these professionals suffer while working according to their assign-ment in gymnasiums. With the cooperation of Physiology students from UGFa research composed of twelve questions allowed us to collect enough information to support the subject being studied and this research took place in the cities of Curitiba, Imbituva and Ponta Grossa involving fifty-three PE professionals, where 29 of them were males and 24 females were females with an average age between twenty-one and forty-two years old. The high rate of 96% of professionals suffered injuries when were submitted to extensive hours of continuous work loads throughout the day. The most frequently injuries were reported to have occurred in the knees, ankles, lumbar region of the vertebrae column and hips. The other discovery was that 71.2% of the injured did not stop or interrupted they work routine while still injured. Another important finding of the research was that 46.2% of the interviewed professionals perform physical activity throughout the whole duration of the class, and although the difference was slim, the collected data showed that men get injured more that women do, and the age rate more affected is between twenty-one and twenty-five years old for both genders.
