Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

363
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Musculoskeletal Injury

Background:

  • Padel's growing popularity necessitates understanding injury epidemiology.
  • Limited data exists on sport-related musculoskeletal injuries among Portuguese Padel players.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of Padel-related injuries in Portugal.
  • Identify risk factors and injury patterns in Portuguese Padel practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • Nationwide self-reported questionnaire distributed to Portuguese Padel players.
  • Data collected on sociodemographics, occupation, health, and injury history.
  • Statistical analysis including multivariable models to identify associations.

Main Results:

  • High injury incidence: 69.2% reported at least one injury; 3.4 injuries per 1000 hours.
  • Predominant injuries: Tendinous (35.6%) and muscular (26.1%).
  • Commonly affected sites: Elbow (18.0%), ankle (16.6%), knee (12.5%), shoulder (10.5%).
  • Risk factors identified: Higher BMI, female sex, playing surface, and lack of supervision.
  • Injuries often occurred during training due to fatigue/overload, with moderate to severe outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Portuguese Padel players face a significant burden of tendinous and muscular injuries.
  • Elbow and lower limb injuries are most common.
  • Modifiable factors like athlete characteristics, exposure, equipment, and supervision are key targets for prevention and rehabilitation.
