Resumen
The sports modalities voleyball and basketball are similar in the sports
characteristics, such as jumps and landings, which are sports gesture frequently
performed. Both of the modalities present high risk of skeletal muscles’ injuries
because of the characteristics of the movement performed associated with high
sports demand. Preventives works should be the physioterapist’s focus aiming to
reduce the amount of injuires, their seriousness or athlete’s withdrawal time.
Therefore, epidemiological studies should be made considering the specifications of
the modalities, to better characterize the most common injuries correlated with the
moment of the injury to contribute to the plans of these preventive works. This study
aimed to review studies that investigated the injuries’ profile in volleyball and
basketball young athletes. The search of scientific articles in English, Portuguese and
Spanish happened between January and June of 2019, in the following database:
Medline, LILACS, SciELO. Studies that used a sample of young athletes (bellow 21
years old), published in the last 15 years and involving volleyball and basketball were
considered in this review. The search identified 11709 articles and 10 were selected
to review. The majority of the studies were outlined as descriptive epidemiological or
longitudinal. The articles showed the highest number of injuries in the lower limb in
both modalities; ankle and knees were the most affected anatomic regions both in
men and women. More epidemiological studies should be developed to contribute to
the preventive work planning that is going to be developed by the physiotherapist.
