O perfil demográfico dos atletas mostrou que a maioria dos praticantes de ciclismo são

homens jovens na faixa etária entre 20-40 anos. A maioria dos estudos foram feitos em clubes, portanto não foi possível associar o nível de profissionalismo com a população geral. Não foi estabelecido uma relação entre o gênero e a facilidade de lesões.

VIII. SUMMARY

Background: The practice of cycling by amateur and professional athletes has been

increasing in recent years and, consequently, an increase of knee injuries. The injuries caused occur with greater physical wear by athletes influencing the quality of life and sports performance. From this, we seek to analyze the epidemiology and possible causes that contribute to the increased rates of non-traumatic knee injuries. Purpose: To provide a review of evidence from studies on the main non-traumatic knee injuries and possible collaborators factors in professional and amateur athletes. Method: We performed a literature review on the prevalence and causes of non-traumatic knee injuries in cyclists in MEDLINE, Scielo, LILACS and IBECS with the descriptors "injuries", "knee" and "cycling ". The articles selected met the following criteria: those who studied humans, abstract available, filling the inclusion criteria and performed in the last ten years. Results: 109 publications were identified. Eight of these articles met the inclusion criteria and were entered in the final analysis. Discussion: The cycling was responsible for lesions in 25% to 40% of the samples. The knee was the second most commonly affected body segment during the studies. There was a definition of the etiology of the most prevalent injury. The Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome and the Band Syndrome Iliotibial were the most cited. The overuse or overtraining was quoted in all the work as the main triggering factor of injury. Conclusion: The knee is considered one of the main injury sites for cyclists, mainly because of its anatomical location. More studies are needed to define the etiology in knee injuries in cyclists. It is unanimously that overuse is the main factor facilitating non-traumatic injuries in the knee cyclists.
