The objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of pain and musculoskeletal pain syndromes in adolescents and associate them to computer and video game use. A cross-sectional study was performed on the entire adolescent population (n=833) of a private situated in the city of São Paulo. The research included a questionnaire and physical examination of the musculoskeletal system. Statistical analysis was carried out with Fisher, chi-square, Mann Whitney tests and logistic regression. A total of 791 adolescent was evaluated. A computer was used by 99% and video games by 58%. Pain was reported by 312 (39.4%) students: 23% complained of back pain, 9% of upper limb pain, 4% of diffuse pain and 4% of pain in the trapezium muscle. A clinical examination was carried out in 359 students, and one or more musculoskeletal pain syndromes were present in 56 students (15.6%): benign joint hypermobility syndrome in 10%, myofascial syndrome in 5%, tendonitis in 2% and fibromyalgia in 1%. In the multivariate analysis, the logistical regression showed that the independent variables in the prediction of pain were sex [odds ratio (OR): 2.19, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.33-3.61] and age (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.07-1.28) and that the prediction of musculoskeletal pain syndromes were sex (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 1.69-6.22) and number of days a week using the computer (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.05-1.42). However, the variations in the dependent variables by the mathematical regression models were low. Despite the frequent use of computer and video games among adolescents, this was not associated with the presence of pain and musculoskeletal pain syndromes.

“…RSI, such as tendonitis, bursitis, enthesitis and epicondylitis, are rare in the pediatric age group and are frequently found to be associated with sports injuries [4,5,23]. The first two cases of musculoskeletal system lesions ("trigger finger") associated to the use of electronic games by adolescents were described in 1987 [29].…”

OBJECTIVE. To describe the epidemiology of cheerleading-related injuries among children in the United States. DESIGN.A retrospective analysis of data for children 5 to 18 years old from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1990Commission, -2002 METHODS. Sample weights provided by the NEISS were used to make national estimates of cheerleading-related injuries. Injury rates were calculated for the most frequently occurring types of injury using cheerleading participation data.RESULTS. An estimated 208 800 children (95% confidence interval [CI]: 166 620 -250 980) 5 to 18 years of age were treated in US hospital emergency departments for cheerleading-related injuries during the 13-year period of 1990 -2002. The number of injuries increased by 110% from 10 900 in 1990 to 22 900 in 2002, with an average of 16 100 (95% CI: 12 848 -19 352) injuries per year (P Ͻ .01). The average age of injured children was 14.4 years (median: 15.0 years); 97% were female; and 85% of injuries occurred to children 12 to 17 years old. The number of injuries per 1000 participants per year was greater for 12-to 17-yearolds (8.1) than for 6-to 11-year-olds (1.2) for all cheerleading-related injuries combined (P Ͻ .01; relative risk [RR]: 6.49; 95% CI: 6.40 -6.58), as well as for injuries grouped by body part injured and type of injury. The body parts injured were lower extremity (37.2%), upper extremity (26.4%), head/neck (18.8%), trunk (16.8%), and other (0.8%). Injury diagnoses were strains/sprains (52.4%), soft tissue injuries (18.4%), fractures/dislocations (16.4%), lacerations/avulsions (3.8%), concussions/closed head injuries (3.5%), and other (5.5%). Children in the 12-to 18-year age group were more likely to sustain strains or sprains to the lower extremity than 5-to 11-year-olds (P Ͻ .01; RR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.50 -1.88). The majority of patients with cheerleading-related injuries was treated and released from the emergency department (98.7%). Patients sustaining fractures or dislocations were more likely to be admitted to the hospital than those sustaining other types of injury (P Ͻ .01; RR: 5.30; 95% CI: 3.29 -6.43).www.pediatrics.org/cgi

“…These changes occur concomitantly with two new physical greatnesses: the angular momentum and the External Torque. The rotation movements, which relate to the mass core of a given body, has a great influence in the calculation of the acting energy over it (7) , hence, the external forces acting over a gymnast during her movements on land, may reach from 5 to 17.5 times her own body's weight (8) . Such evidence explains the difficulty faced by gymnasts during the landing of acrobatic elements (9) .…”

Introduction: Biomechanics is a sub-area of physics responsible for the study of the human movement. The artistic gymnastics is a sport modality that intrigues the researchers, in this context; this work comes to analyze one of the movements most important of this modality, the rolling. Scope: To analyze the implied physical components with the execution of the movement of the rolling, looking for to establish some relation between these and the angle of landing measured to the end of this acrobatic element. Methods: The sample was composed for seven gymnasts, with age varying between 14 and 20 years, with a time of training of at the very least five years. This research was used of tools based on principles of the classic mechanics, techniques of photogrammetry and statistical treatments. Results: From the implied physics related with the execution of the rolling, the external torque presented greater relevance. The results were obtained from analysis of groups with distinct levels of experience. The variability of the experimental data was statically treated providing a set of conclusions relevant to this study. Conclusions: The results showed the relation between the values of angle and external torque. The increase of the torque was related with low values of the angle. It was verified the influence of the torque by the initial acceleration, according with preliminary works.
