Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Footvolley is a new sport that is gaining popularity in Brazil. Several factors contribute to the scarce literature about this sport, such as recent popularization, still-growing practice in the international sphere, and low financial incentives. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and associated factors in footvolley players in Brazil.
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional observational study carried out with 629 footvolley players using an online form. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data, time spent practicing, psychosocial factors and pain intensity were collected.
RESULTS: Of the 629 individuals, 450 (71%) were male. More than half of the sample, n=368 (58%), reported being injured while playing footvolley matches, with the lumbar region (41%) being the most affected. Most footvolley players reported pain (54%), and low back pain was the main prevalent condition (46%). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed an association between previous injuries while playing footvolley (OR= 1.56; 95% CI: 1.08-2.25; P= 0.017), being a practitioner of the master category (OR= 8.68; 95% CI: 1.01–74.44; P= 0.049) and the prevalence of pain. Also, it was found that the age group between 18 and 22 years (OR= 0.41; 95% CI: 0.19-0.88; P= 0.023) was a protective factor.
CONCLUSION: Low back pain was prevalent in footvolley players. Players with previous injuries and those in the master category were more likely to report pain. Being aged between 18 and 22 was a protective factor against pain compared to being over 43.

Resumo
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O futevôlei é um esporte novo que vem ganhando popularidade no Brasil. Vários fatores contribuem para a escassa literatura sobre o esporte, como a popularização recente, a prática ainda crescente no âmbito internacional e o baixo incentivo financeiro. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a prevalência de dores musculoesqueléticas e fatores associados em jogadores de futevôlei no Brasil.
MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo observacional transversal realizado com 629 jogadores de futevôlei por meio de um formulário online. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos, tempo de prática, fatores psicossociais e intensidade da dor.
RESULTADOS: Dos 629 indivíduos, 450 (71%) eram do sexo masculino. Mais da metade da amostra, n=368 (58%), relatou ter se lesionado durante partidas de futevôlei, sendo a região lombar (41%) a mais afetada. A maioria dos jogadores de futevôlei relatou dor (54%), sendo a dor lombar a principal condição prevalente (46%). A análise de regressão logística múltipla mostrou associação entre lesões prévias ao jogar futevôlei (OR= 1,56; IC 95%: 1,08-2,25; p= 0,017), ser praticante da categoria master (OR= 8,68; IC 95%: 1,01-74,44); p= 0,049) e a prevalência de dor. Além disso, constatou-se que a faixa etária entre 18 e 22 anos (OR= 0,41; IC 95%: 0,19-0,88; p= 0,023) foi um fator de proteção.
CONCLUSÃO: A dor lombar foi prevalente em jogadores de futevôlei. Jogadores com lesões anteriores e da categoria master tiveram maior probabilidade de relatar dor. Ter idade entre 18 e 22 anos foi um fator de proteção contra a dor em comparação com ter mais de 43 anos.
