Programa de prevención de lesiones frecuentes en los deportistas de fisicoculturismo del gimnasio Titanus de la ciudad de Loja en el periodo 2025-2026

Abstract

Abstract: Bodybuilding is considered a high-intensity training activity with a constant high risk of musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in the shoulder, back, and knee. Recently, there has been an increase in the practice of this sport in Ecuador, especially in the city of Loja, where information about injury prevention programs is very limited. Therefore, the need arose to evaluate the satisfaction with a common injury prevention program designed for bodybuilders, addressing the stated objective and implemented over a four-month period. The study was implemented using an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional design with 100 bodybuilders from the Titanus gym. The program included stretching, proprioception, and strengthening exercises, focusing on proper technique. A satisfaction questionnaire was developed and validated by five experts to collect the data. The results obtained after the implementation of the program demonstrated a high level of overall satisfaction, highlighting the program's clarity, the usefulness of the activities, and the safety provided after training. It is concluded that the program had a significant impact, promoting safer practices and preventing injuries.
