Resumo
Introdução: Os esportes de alto rendimento são aqueles em que sempre se busca melhorar o desempenho, visando alcançar resultados cada vez melhores, seja em grupo ou individualmente. Nos exercícios de alta intensidade os sintomas mais relatados são rigidez muscular e diminuição da amplitude de movimento. Portanto, é importante que se investigue as terapias que podem ajudar a diminuir a dor e otimizar a performance. A liberação miofascial vem ganhando espaço entre as técnicas, ainda mais quando falamos de atletas, visto que a prática promove melhor vascularização, maleabilidade e relaxamento dos tecidos, facilitando a mobilidade, podendo reduzindo dores, melhorar a recuperação e a performance dos esportistas. Entretanto, há controvérsias sobre alguns efeitos e sobre a duração deles no organismo. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar o que a literatura traz sobre a técnica de liberação miofascial em atletas de alto rendimento, verificando em quais casos será benéfica e em quais casos não será efetiva. Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo é uma revisão narrativa de literatura. Os artigos foram levantados das bases de dados PubMed e Scielo, e os critérios de inclusão foram: liberação miofascial como técnica principal, estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, free full text, em português e inglês. Resultados: Após as análises dos resultados, pode-se concluir que a técnica de liberação miofascial pode trazer resultados positivos no ganho de flexibilidade e ADM, mas há controvérsias na literatura com relação ao fato dos ganhos serem apenas agudos, durando alguns minutos. O método também se mostra positivo para recuperação e redução da dor muscular percebida, mas não se mostra eficaz para incremento de força e potência muscular, a não ser que esta potência envolva energia elástica. Já para o custo energético da corrida, a liberação miofascial prejudicou o desempenho dos atletas. Considerações Finais: Cabe ressaltar que ainda se faz necessário que haja mais estudos na área, e que os estudos sejam feitos de forma mais lineares, estando alinhados em tempo, técnica e pressão de aplicação da liberação miofascial, e com amostras maiores. Isto porquê a falta de linearidade dificulta a análise e comparação direta entre os resultados, sendo mais complexo chegar a uma conclusão e consenso sobre a técnica em questão.
Introduction: High-performance sports are those where there's always a pursuit to improve performance, aiming for increasingly better results, whether in a group or individually. In high-intensity exercises, the most reported symptoms are muscular stiffness and decreased range of motion. Therefore, it's important to investigate therapies that can help reduce pain and optimize performance. Myofascial release has been gaining ground among techniques, especially concerning athletes, as it promotes better vascularization, flexibility, and tissue relaxation, enhancing mobility, potentially reducing pain, improving recovery, and athletes' performance. However, there are controversies regarding some effects and their duration in the body. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze what the literature presents about myofascial release technique in high-performance athletes, determining in which cases it will be beneficial and in which cases it won't be effective. Materials and Methods: This study is a narrative literature review. Articles were gathered from PubMed and Scielo databases, with inclusion criteria being: myofascial release as the main technique, studies published in the last 10 years, free full text, in Portuguese and English. Results: Upon analyzing the results, it can be concluded that myofascial release technique may yield positive results in improving flexibility and ROM, but there's controversy in the literature regarding whether these gains are acute, lasting only a few minutes. The method also shows positive aspects for recovery and reducing perceived muscle pain but isn't effective for increasing muscle strength and power unless it involves elastic energy. Concerning the energy cost of running, myofascial release affected athletes' performance negatively. Final Considerations: It's important to note that further studies in the field are still needed, conducted more consistently regarding timing, technique, and pressure applied during myofascial release, and with larger sample sizes. The lack of consistency makes analysis and direct comparison among results complex, making it challenging to reach a conclusion and consensus about this technique.
