As with any sport, injury is an aspect associated with BJJ practice. The aim of this study was to characterize the profile of sports injuries affecting BJJ practitioners in gyms and dojos. Additionally, the group of participants reporting a single injury in the past year was compared with the group reporting more than one injury regarding variables related to sports practice. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, recruiting 79 BJJ practitioners via convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria were: participants of either gender, aged over 18, who had practiced the sport for at least one year with a frequency of at least once a week, and who had participated in at least one competition in the past year, regardless of category or rank. Exclusion criteria were: practitioners of adaptive BJJ and reports of metabolic diseases affecting the nervous or musculoskeletal systems. Data collection was performed individually at each participant's training location; they answered a questionnaire covering characteristics of their sports practice and their injury history over the past year. Among the 79 recruited BJJ practitioners, 72 (91.1%) reported having sustained at least one injury in the past year. Of these, 37 (51.4%) indicated having had one injury, while 35 (48.6%) reported having had more than one (2–5 injuries). The majority of injuries were non-recurrent (n = 112, 87.5%), resulted from trauma (n = 110, 78.1%), and occurred during training (n = 115, 89.8%). The group that reported more than one injury exhibited a higher weekly training frequency (p = 0.009) and used a greater number of personal protective equipment items (p = 0.003). Regarding the reported injuries, participants indicated that in 70 cases (54.7%), they had not yet fully returned to their pre-injury performance level or a higher one. Thus, this study demonstrated a high prevalence of injuries associated with BJJ practice. The findings may contribute to understanding the injury profile of BJJ practitioners and, consequently, to strategies for preventing such injuries.

Among these, the deadlift contributes significantly to the total score achieved by athletes in competitions. In this context, different technical styles can be employed during the execution of the movement, the most common being the conventional deadlift and the sumo deadlift. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between weight category and the deadlift style used by powerlifting athletes, as well as to verify the influence of anthropometric variables on this choice. This is an exploratory, descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 47 male athletes participating in a classic powerlifting state championship in Minas Gerais, with a minimum age of 18 years. Anthropometric variables were collected, including height, body mass, body mass index, and the lengths of the arms, forearms, thighs, legs, and trunk, as well as wingspan and other absolute and relative measures. Each athlete's best valid lift was obtained through the Brazilian Confederation of Basic Lifts (CBLB) website. Participants were grouped according to the lifting style utilized (sumo or conventional) and into three broad weight categories: light, middle, and heavy. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, group comparison tests, association tests between categorical variables, and correlation analysis. Results demonstrated a statistically significant association between weight category and lifting style (p = 0.046), indicating a higher utilization of the sumo style in intermediate categories and a predominance of the conventional style in heavier categories. Among the anthropometric variables evaluated, only absolute trunk length showed a significant difference between lifting styles. Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between body mass and deadlift performance. It is concluded that weight category influences the choice of technical style used in the deadlift by powerlifting athletes and that the relative anthropometric characteristics analyzed do not determine this choice.

Childhood is the period of life during which development, taken as a whole, presents a vast range of windows of opportunity for the individual’s holistic development; thus, executive functions are an important aspect of cognitive development. In the late 20th century, authors developed and investigated a set of traumatic or stressful events that they termed Adverse Childhood Experiences; following this initial study, many others began to analyze such events and their correlations with other outcomes. The present study aims to determine whether Adverse Childhood Experiences have an impact on children’s executive function. Data source: Articles were selected from the LILACS, PubMed, and Embase databases, in English and Portuguese, published between 2021 and 2026, excluding populations with neurocognitive disorders. A total of ten studies were selected for this literature review that demonstrated a clear association between the experience of Adverse Childhood Experiences and their impact on executive functions. In summary, the selected studies showed that the greater the exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences, the greater the impact on executive functions, in addition to other health outcomes. Most of the selected studies focused on follow-up analyses, conducted after the individuals had reached adulthood. The findings of this review can be used to illustrate the relevance and scarcity of studies on this topic.
