(Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-11-16) Coronel Segovia, Erick Ismael; Loor Naula, John Sebastián; Tacuri Peláez, Elsa Leonor
The purpose of this study of bibliographic review was to analyze the importance of postural hygiene and the realization of active breaks, in addition to supporting the theoretical elements that speak about active breaks and skeletal muscle disorders in workers both in the administrative area and in work that require physical strength, the publications were systematically searched in different databases, without restriction of language in the vast majority from the year 2010, applying selection criteria which were previously established, a total of 11 articles were chosen. The results of the analysis of these articles show that active pauses have positive effects on skeletal muscles disorders (MSD), relieving pain and discomfort in the main areas such as shoulders, neck and back, although there was also a discrepancy compared to articles. who mention that after a few months there were no positive effects and even some participants had a regression of these benefits despite continuing with active breaks, this is attributed to the fact that the same exercises are always repeated over a long period of time. In conclusion, active breaks are beneficial for the prevention of MSDs, but it should be taken into account that the exercises should be varied every 3 months to have long-term results.
