INTRODUÇÃO: Diferentes modalidades esportivas utilizam as mãos como importante seguimento corporal envolvido para o desempenho. Entre essas modalidades destacam-se judô, tênis, vela, remo, boxe, levantamento de peso e outras. A força de preensão manual é exigida nessas modalidades específicas, em que o nível de força gerado pode ser o diferencial no desempenho final. A dinamometria manual é um valioso instrumento a ser utilizado na detecção do talento esportivo, no controle do treinamento e na avaliação de recuperação de lesão. OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo é fazer uma revisão sobre os principais aspectos metodológicos envolvidos na mensuração da força de preensão manual, utilizando o dinamômetro Jamar®, identificando os aspectos relacionados à validade, confiabilidade, precisão, posição para realização do teste, posição da alça, instruções, número de medidas, período de descanso entre as tentativas, duração do tempo de contração, aquecimento pré-teste. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um levantamento para compor uma base de dados de diferentes modalidades olímpicas: coletivas e individuais. Foi realizada uma pesquisa eletrônica da literatura utilizando as bases de dados MEDLINE, SciELO e LILACS, sendo utilizados os seguintes descritores: força de preensão manual, dinamometria manual e, em inglês, hand, grip, strength, dynamometer, Jamar, norms e reference values. CONCLUSÃO: Os valores de força de preensão manual apresentados pelos atletas diferem de acordo com a modalidade, sexo, peso corporal, nível do atleta, idade e tipo de treinamento. A força de preensão manual deve estar presente nas baterias de testes para identificação de possíveis talentos esportivos.

Whiplash Associated Disorders

Abstract Background: Years after whiplash injury, more than 40 % of people experience persistent neck pain and disability, called whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). The relations between neck related function, neck pain and disability are inconclusive and need to be further investigated. The aims were; a) to compare the effect of three different exercise interventions – neck-specific exercise (NSE), NSE with a behavioral approach (NSEB) and prescribed physical activity (PPA) – on neck-muscle endurance (NME), active cervical range of motion (AROM), grip strength and pain intensity immediately before and after the tests, and b) to compare neck-disability in individuals who are below or above the cut-off for normative reference values of healthy individuals regarding NME, AROM and grip strength.Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled multicenter study including 12 months’ follow-up. A total of 216 individuals with chronic WAD grades II or III were recruited. Data were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Linear mixed models were used and sub-group analyses were evaluated with non-parametric tests.Results: NSE and NSEB resulted in greater improvements compared to PPA (p < .01) and were maintained at 12 months’ follow-up in ventral (only males) and dorsal NME, AROM and pain intensity during testing. In grip strength, there were no significant between-group differences (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the NSE and NSEB groups (p > .05). Sub-group analyses revealed improvement in disability at 12 months follow-up in NSE and/or NSEB for individuals both below and above the cut-off reference value in NME and AROM. More severe disability was seen in individuals below the reference values both at baseline and 12 months’ follow-up. Individuals in the PPA group below the reference values in NME and AROM reported increasing disability at 12 months compared to baseline.Conclusion: The results suggest that neck-specific exercises (NSE, NSEB) improved clinical function and decreased disability in chronic WAD compared to PPA. The results may imply that higher neck-related clinical function can be important for reduced disability.
