PREVENTION OF ANKLE STRAIN AND ITS BENEFIT IN IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF BASKETBALL ATHLETES

Abstract

Ankle injuries are responsible for 45% of basketball injuries and once ankle sprain is suffered, the chance of a second episode can become greatly increased. In addition, these injuries are represented as one of the main factors for the removal of athletes, because they directly influence their physical and technical performance, in addition to psychological losses. Therefore, the objective of this study was to present and explain the methods of preventing ankle entosis to prevent the performance of basketball athletes from being negatively affected. For this it was decided to develop a qualitative research, with explanatory purposes, through a bibliographic review, for which databases such as: Scielo, Lilac's and google acadêmico were used. In the end, it was considered that early musculoskeletal mobilization is of fundamental importance, both to rehabilitate and to prevent sprains, bringing better performance to athletes, and better functional independence, because proprioceptive training, joint mobilization and the use of orthoses are prevention methods that have brought more positive results, but more studies on this subject are still needed.
