Desde o dia em que o ex-nadador americano Michael Phelps apareceu com o corpo marcado por ventosas nas Olimp\u00edadas do Rio em 2016 a nata\u00e7\u00e3o nunca mais foi a mesma. Esta semana, quase 8 anos depois, enquanto assistia o Campeonato Mundial de Esportes Aqu\u00e1ticos em Doha, observei que alguns nadadores ainda s\u00e3o adeptos das ventosas. E por isso escolhi o assunto para a coluna desta semana.<\/p>\n

As ventosas s\u00e3o originalmente parte da medicina tradicional chinesa. Segundo a medicina oriental elas s\u00e3o aplicadas sobre pontos dolorosos ou pontos de acupuntura para mover toxinas acumuladas nestes pontos. De acordo com essa teoria, quanto mais escuro o hematoma formado pela ventosa, maior a concentra\u00e7\u00e3o de toxinas no local.<\/p>\n

Na vis\u00e3o ocidental funciona um pouco diferente. As ventosas geram inicialmente um bloqueio do fluxo sangu\u00edneo local e les\u00f5es de pequenos vasos superficiais. Quando s\u00e3o retiradas promovem um aumento da irriga\u00e7\u00e3o sangu\u00ednea e um processo inflamat\u00f3rio controlado melhorando o metabolismo local pela chegada de mais oxig\u00eanio e nutrientes, gerando assim um relaxamento das fibras musculares e uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de bem estar.<\/p>\n

A grande quest\u00e3o \u00e9 que cientificamente n\u00e3o conseguimos provar nenhuma das duas hip\u00f3teses, muito menos os mecanismos fisiol\u00f3gicos envolvidos. Por fim, os pesquisadores n\u00e3o conseguem ter boas evid\u00eancias de que as ventosas realmente funcionam, ou se teriam um efeito meramente placebo.<\/p>\n

Dentro de mim habitam dois seres. Um \u00e9 fisioterapeuta, ele busca basear sua pr\u00e1tica di\u00e1ria nas melhores evid\u00eancias cient\u00edficas dispon\u00edveis. O outro \u00e9 nadador, esse s\u00f3 busca se sentir bem para poder nadar mais e melhor. O primeiro desconfia da a\u00e7\u00e3o das ventosas. Mas o segundo adora e tem certeza que elas funcionam, principalmente pr\u00f3ximo \u00e0s competi\u00e7\u00f5es.<\/p>\n

Brincadeiras \u00e0 parte, acho importante educar o grande p\u00fablico sobre o fato de nem sempre o que os grandes atletas fazem ou mostram \u00e9 algo que funciona, tem uma explica\u00e7\u00e3o cient\u00edfica fundamentada e nem se aplica a todo mundo.<\/p>\n
