Cardiac risk identification in street runners
Abstract
Street running is a sport that has been increasing over the past few years, however, it is known that vigorous physical effort is capable of sharply increasing the risks of sudden cardiac death and myocardial infarction among individuals with or without diagnosed heart diseases. Thus, the present study aims to identify cardiac risk in street runners. It is a field research, transversal, of a quantitative nature, developed online through the application of a self-explanatory form by the Google Forms tool, from March to August 2020. 144 street racers of both sexes participated in the study. The data collection instrument contained twenty structured and semi-structured questions regarding the overall health of each participant and data that included the Michigan Heart Association's coronary risk assessment, used for classification of cardiac risk. For data analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test was used, frequencies, measures of central tendency, t Student independent samples. The level of significance was set at p = 0.05 and the 95% confidence interval. The main results point to cardiac risk below the average, 71 (49.3%) individuals; medium risk 54 (37.5%) individuals and 15 (10.41%) individuals with moderate risk. Thus, it can be concluded that the identified cardiac risk inspires care, since almost 50% of the studied sample had medium to moderate cardiac risk. It is suggested that more research be carried out in order to contemplate strategies for preventing acute and serious cardiac events.
