Resumen

Con la introducción del snowboard en el mundo ha habido un gran aumento de lo número de entusiastas de los deportes de invierno. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar y comparar los perfiles de las lesiones de portugueses en esquí y en snowboard. Un total de 218 individuos han completado un cuestionario retrospectivo de 2 años, de los cuales 87 (40%) de ellos eran esquiadores, 113 (52%) practicantes de snowboard y 18 (8%) practicaban ambos deportes. Un total de 107 (49%) sujetos resultaron lesionados, con 42 (39.3%) de estas lesiones relacionadas con el esquí y 72 (67.3%) lesiones relacionadas con el snowboard. La localización más frecuente de la lesión en el cuerpo fue la rodilla en ambos deportes (59.5% en esquí y 31.9% en snowboard).  En conclusión, observamos que el snowboard tiene un mayor riesgo de lesiones en comparación con el esquí.
