Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Contact athletes are subject to musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive techniques applied during training and championships. This can lead to acute and chronic pain, and depending on the technique applied, different regions of the body may be affected.  Studies in this area focus on the description of injury or trauma, however, the presence of kinesiophobia in this population is a gap to be investigated.  OBJECTIVE: To describe the profile of pain and kinesiophobia in judo athletes of the master category. METHOD: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted with 29 judo master athletes enrolled in the Bahia Federation. For pain description, the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and Doleur Neuropathique Questionnaire (DN4) and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) were used. The data were tabulated and analyzed descriptively through the software Excel for Windows® using absolute or mean value (standard deviation). RESULTS: The BPI data showed that the overall pain mean was 5.1 ± 1.8, the treatment chosen was mostly pharmacological and the region most affected was the anterior knee. Of the 29 participants, 9 (31%) had score 3, indicating the presence of neuropathic pain and mild kinesiophobia with an overall mean of 33.8 ± 6.7 on the TSK score. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The athletes presented moderate pain with little impact on personal life and the regions with the highest incidence were the knees. Mild kinesiophobia was present in more than half of the participants and one third presented neuropathic pain.
