Abstract

abstract Flexibility is related to specific tissue properties of the body, which aim to determine the maximum range of motion of the joints without injury. This study aimed to identify and summarize the evidence on prevalence of adequate levels of flexibility in Brazilian children and adolescents (6 to 19 years old). We performed a systematic search of studies published from 2009 to 2019 in six databases (MEDLINE/PubMed; Scopus; SportDiscus; LILACS; Web of Science; SCIELO). Fourteen studies that compiled data from 11,666 participants in seven different Brazilian states were included. All studies conducted sit and reach tests to assess flexibility. Among all the children and adolescents in the analyzed studies, 58.9% of the total (62.0% of boys and 50.9% of girls) had adequate flexibility. We conclude that more than half of Brazilian children and adolescents have adequate flexibility for health.

巴西儿童和青少年的灵活性:文献的系统回顾

柔韧性与身体的特定组织特性有关，其目的是确定关节在不受伤的情况下的最大运动范围。本研究旨在确定和总结巴西儿童和青少年(6至19岁)适当灵活性水平的患病率的证据。我们对2009年至2019年在六个数据库(MEDLINE/PubMed;斯高帕斯;SportDiscus;紫丁香;Web of Science;收录了)。其中包括14项研究，收集了来自巴西七个不同州的11666名参与者的数据。所有的研究都进行了坐伸测试来评估灵活性。在所有被分析研究的儿童和青少年中，58.9%的人(62.0%的男孩和50.9%的女孩)有足够的灵活性。我们的结论是，半数以上的巴西儿童和青少年在健康方面具有足够的灵活性。
