Os efeitos da mobilidade articular como um método do aquecimento ativo

Abstract

The practice of directed movements to develop greater joint mobility has become popular in the pre-exercise along with the benefits of active warm-up, the lack of this physical capacity can lead to changes in muscle function and reduced levels of range of motion impairing the sports performance. There are few studies that address mobility and how it relates in pre-exercise, mainly to the components and physiological effects on performance, which has impaired the theoretical knowledge on the subject and the studies for a good structuring of a warm-up. Objective: To carry out a review of the basic physiological components and their adaptations related to joint mobility, and whether the structuring prior to sports together with warming up would be appropriate for a good performance. Method: The review was carried out using books and scientific articles in journals, in which the search for data obtained was performed through the PUBMED, LILACS and SCIELO databases. The combination of keywords in English: joint, mobility, warm up, stretching, mobilization, and Portuguese: articulação, mobilidade, aquecimento, alongamento and mobilização. Results: This review allowed us to review the physiological aspects and methods that involve sports preparation, which are already widely known, but also made it possible to verify that mobility is important to help improve performance. Intra-articular and neuromusculotendinous adaptations have been reported, including structuring mobility activity for pre-exercise. Conclusion: Thus, due to the immediate benefits that joint mobility presents, it can be efficient when associated with the effects of the protocols that an active warm-up promotes in the pre-exercise, in sports and training means that require mainly a greater functional range of movement, strength and multidirectional changes.
