Members of solid waste recycling cooperatives are exposed to serious conditions and complications in their everyday life, which makes them likely to present poor quality of life and unfavorable health conditions in their work environment.
To evaluate morphofunctional parameters, physical fitness, and musculoskeletal symptoms of workers at solid waste recycling cooperatives in Maringá, state of Paraná, Brazil.
This was a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study. Data were collected from 60 cooperative members of both sexes linked to the Popular and Solidarity Recycling Association of Maringá. Participants underwent a medical screening at the cooperative, involving anamnesis, pulmonary and cardiac auscultation, and blood pressure measurement. In a second moment, they underwent physical assessment in the laboratory, using instruments for physical tests and questionnaires.
There was a predominance of females in the sample (54%), with a mean age of 41.82±12.03 years, and most participants did not practice physical activity (70%). With regard to body composition, women had the highest body mass index (28.29±6.61 kg/m); as for the variables physical and aerobic fitness, men showed better scores than women (p < 0.05). In relation to musculoskeletal symptoms, most participants complained of lower back pain (56.66%).
Although the results for anthropometric variables are within normal standards in most cooperative members, most of them present with musculoskeletal symptoms and do not practice physical activity, which can have negative implications in their health conditions in the medium and long term.
固体废物回收合作社的成员在日常生活中面临严重的状况和并发症，这使得他们在工作环境中可能生活质量较差且健康状况不佳。
评估巴西巴拉那州马林加市固体废物回收合作社工人的形态功能参数、身体素质和肌肉骨骼症状。
这是一项定量、横断面、描述性研究。从与马林加市大众团结回收协会相关的60名男女合作社成员中收集数据。参与者在合作社接受了医学筛查，包括问诊、肺部和心脏听诊以及血压测量。在第二个阶段，他们在实验室接受身体评估，使用身体测试仪器和问卷。
样本中女性占多数（54%），平均年龄为41.82±12.03岁，大多数参与者不进行体育活动（70%）。关于身体成分，女性的体重指数最高（28.29±6.61kg/m）；至于身体和有氧适能变量，男性得分高于女性（p<0.05）。关于肌肉骨骼症状，大多数参与者抱怨下背部疼痛（56.66%）。
尽管大多数合作社成员的人体测量变量结果在正常标准范围内，但他们中的大多数人存在肌肉骨骼症状且不进行体育活动，这可能对他们的中长期健康状况产生负面影响。
