摘要:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms, conditions, and types of injuries that occur during jiu-jitsu practice. A total of 126 male jiu-jitstu fighters (mean age: 26.0 ± 7.93) were evaluated. The data were obtained through the identification and analysis of athletes subject to the Orthopedics and Physiotherapy Services of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sergipe. The results indicate significant differences between the amateur and professional groups. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of injuries and a better recovery in jiu-jitsu athletes.
