Musculoskeletal complaints and labor gymnastic practice of financial institution employees

This research identified the musculoskeletal complaints of 16 financial institution workers, inserted and not inserted in labor gymnastic activities, through mean body map questionnaires. The Chi-Square test was applied to data analysis with 5% significance level. The labor gymnastic group showed positive results only for the cervical regon analysis (p = 0.049). In the cervical regon, the labor gymnastic group showed less intense complaints (44.44%; n = 4), in contrast to the non-gymnastic group. These workers, in turn, more intensely complained as moderate (intensity 3) (42.86%; n = 3) and considerable (intensity 4) (57.14%; n = 4). Labor gymnastic practices, performed twice a week, did not bring significant differences in musculoskeletal complaints in the analyses of most body regons. These results indicate the need for adjustments in the activities so that greater effectiveness in the musculoskeletal situation can be achieved.
