Resumo

Uma visão geral da relação entre a atividade esportiva de atletas de elite e a medicina foi apresentada durante uma conferência com a palestrante convidada, Sra. Sara Simeoni, campeã italiana de salto em altura nos Jogos Olímpicos (uma medalha de ouro em Moscou e medalhas de prata em Montreal e Los Angeles). Ela possui uma carreira particularmente longa nesse tipo de atividade esportiva, e seu endosso e apoio, por ser um ícone reconhecido da excelência esportiva, são de grande importância. Isso se torna ainda mais relevante em temas sensíveis como desigualdades de gênero, exercício físico e ética no esporte. Durante a conferência, também foi abordada a relação entre nutrição, atividade física e saúde, tanto na medicina quanto na vida social. Na realidade, ainda encontramos barreiras culturais, econômicas, sociais e políticas presentes e, atualmente, em alguns aspectos, ainda mais fortes do que no passado. A interação entre medicina baseada em evidências, treinamento de atletas de elite, prática de condicionamento físico e intervenção com exercícios físicos na saúde e na doença ainda está em desenvolvimento. A definição de métodos e a clarificação de resultados multidimensionais devem ser priorizadas, e estratégias e ferramentas sustentáveis devem ser discutidas.
