Programa de prevención de periostitis tibial como lesión recurrente en triatletas y maratonistas de 30 a 50 años del grupo Python, en la ciudad de Guayaquil del año 2024.

Abstract

Tibial periostitis is a condition that occurs mainly in high-performance athletes due to overload or stress on the tibia. Adequate treatment improves the patient's conditions, giving them the recovery they need to return to sports. The objective of this research was to establish the benefits of applying a preventive program for tibial periostitis in triathletes and marathoners of the Python group. To achieve this, a quantitative approach and pre-experimental design methodology with a longitudinal section was applied since the control group was 60 people. A personalized tibial periostitis prevention program was implemented for triathletes and marathon runners to prevent future inflammation of the tibial periosteum or its recurrence. As a result, 84% of those surveyed indicated that they had suffered from pain or discomfort in the back of their shins. Of them, 39% were women, middle-aged, with an average height of 1.60 meters. While 61% were men with an average height of 1.73 meters; Of them, 97% showed signs of recovery or improvement in symptoms once the physiotherapy treatment was applied.
