Resumo(s)
No decorrer dos últimos anos, temos assistido a inúmeros casos de morte prematura na comunidade de jogadores de Futebol Americano, um dos desportos mais populares nos Estados Unidos. De igual modo, doenças degenerativas crónicas como Parkinson e Alzheimer têm atingido diversos atletas que praticaram este desporto durante todas as suas vidas. Este enorme problema que, segundo estudos mais recentes (Sandoval, 2017), afeta centenas de jogadores neste preciso momento em todo o mundo, só recentemente foi ponderado e confirmado pela NFL (National Footbal League) tendo assim se impulsionado o avanço de estudos e melhorias nos equipamentos disponíveis de modo a transmitir novamente confiança a jogadores e familiares durante a prática da modalidade. Porém, devido à fraca expressão da modalidade na Europa, a modalidade escolhida foi o Rugby. Embora seja um desporto que apresenta diferenças consideráveis quando comparado com o Futebol Americano, o Rugby é um desporto que possui a mesma intensidade de impacto e os mesmos riscos associados, podendo assim garantir facilidade de acesso a informação através do público-alvo. Assim, foi desenvolvida a presente investigação com o intuito de perceber o modo como as metodologias características de uma abordagem projectual em Design de Produto, cruzadas com fundamentos e conceitos da área das Ciências da Saúde bem como de outras áreas tecnológicas, permitem trilhar novos caminhos face a soluções inovadoras e disruptivas com o objectivo final de responder às verdadeiras necessidades dos jogadores de Rugby. Todo este processo foi assente numa metodologia mista dividida em dois momentos distintos. O primeiro, de base qualitativa não intervencionista, é constituído pela crítica da literatura e a analise de estudos de caso que permitiram a construção do estado da arte. O segundo momento, de base intervencionista, reúne diversas metodologias de investigação activa bem como ferramentas e processos característicos de um projecto prático em Design de Produto. No final, foi desenvolvido um produto constituído de capacete e mouthguard smart que, associados a um serviço, poderão auxiliar no diagnóstico de concussões ou sub-concussões cerebrais durante a prática de Rugby bem como a criação de uma base de dados que permitirá auxiliar futuras pesquisas no campo da inovação de equipamentos de protecção desportiva bem como da ciência do desporto e da biomecânica.▪
ABSTRACT: In recent years, we have witnessed numerous cases of premature death in the American Football community, one of the most popular sports in the United States. Correspondingly, degenerative diseases such as Parkinson and Alzheimer have affected athletes that practiced this sport during their lives. This substantial problem, that according to recent studies (Sandoval, 2017), presently affects hundreds of players worldwide, was only recently contemplated and confirmed by the NFL (National Football League) and given “carte blanche” for the advancement of studies and improvements of the equipment available so as to once more transmit confidence to players and their families during the practice of this modality. However, due to the very limited number of American Football players in Europe, Rugby was the sport selected. Although it is a sport that presents itself with considerable differences when compared to American Football, Rugby is an activity that contains the same intensity of impact and associated risks, while facilitating access to information through the target group available. Therefore, the present investigation was developed with the intent of understanding the way in which the characteristic methodologies of the project approach in Product Design, crossed-checked with the foundations and concepts of the Health Sciences as well as with the other technological areas, allow for new ground towards innovative and disruptive solutions with the ultimate goal of responding to the real protective needs of Rugby players. This process has been developed with a mixed methodology divided into two distinctive moments. The first, of a non-interventionist qualitative base, is made up of literature critique and case study analysis that allow for the construction of the theoretical framework. The second, of an interventionist base, brings together various active investigation methodologies as well as tools and procedures characteristic of a practical project in Product Design. In the end, the product consists of a smart helmet and mouth guard that when associated to a service aims to allow for auxiliary diagnostics of brain concussions or sub-concussions during the practice of Rugby, along with the creation of a database that will aid future research in the field of sport protection equipment innovation as well as the sport sciences and biomechanics.▪
