ABSTRACT

Introduction: Kick-boxing is a sport that is practiced standing up, which consists of applying blows to an opponent using the arms, hands, elbows, legs and feet, through punches, kicks, pushes and sweeps. The objectives are to identify the injuries that occur with the highest prevalence in subjects based on sex and years of kick-boxing practice.
Patients and methods: The sample is made up of 37 subjects from different centers in Extremadura (25 male subjects and 12 female subjects, 67.7 % and 32.42 %, respectively). Which were explored by a single explorer three times, where the musculature, ligaments and present pathologies would be evaluated.
Results: Almost 60 % of the subjects have ever suffered an injury. The most frequent injuries are keratopathies, fractures, sprains and, to a lesser extent, tendinopathy. Years of kick-boxing practice has a highly significant association with the presence of injuries (p value = 0.005).
Conclusion: The behavior of the foot in kick-boxing is the same for both men and women. And that the greater the number of years practicing kick-boxing, the greater the probability of presenting injuries.



RESUMEN

Introducción: El kick-boxing es un deporte que se practica de pie, el cual consiste en aplicar golpes a un rival utilizando los brazos, las manos, los codos, las piernas y los pies, mediante puñetazos, patadas, empujes y barridos. Los objetivos son identificar las lesiones que se producen con mayor prevalencia en los sujetos en función del sexo y los años de práctica del kick-boxing.
Pacientes y métodos: La muestra la componen 37 sujetos de diferentes centros de Extremadura (25 sujetos hombres y 12 mujeres, 67.7 % y 32.42 %, respectivamente), los cuales fueron explorados por un único explorador tres veces, donde se valoraría musculatura, ligamentos y patologías presentes.
Resultados: Casi el 60 % de los sujetos han padecido alguna vez una lesión. Las lesiones más frecuentes son queratopatías, fracturas, esguinces y, en menor medida, tendinopatías. Los años de la práctica del kick-boxing tienen una asociación altamente significativa con la presencia de lesiones (p valor = 0.005).
Conclusión: El comportamiento del pie en el kick-boxing es similar en ambos sexos (no existe diferencia entre hombres y mujeres). Además, es destacable según la estadística que cuanto mayor es el tiempo de práctica de kick-boxing, mayor es la probabilidad de presentar lesiones.
