Correlação da força muscular de membros inferiores com desempenho no Side e Crossover Hop Tests em atletas de futsal

Abstract

Introduction: Futsal is a sport with great evolution over the years and this growth generates high charges in the physical, technical, tactical and psychological areas, nevertheless this added to the peculiarities of the sport, such as displacements in an intense rhythm, abrupt changes of direction, and also great amount of impact together with the high demands of training and competition, added to the pressure by good results, contribute to the appearance of injuries. In this way, understanding the main movements and their relationship becomes of great importance for sports and physiotherapy. Objectives: To evaluate the strength of the Hip Extender and Knee Extender muscles and the correlation of this variable with the performance in functional tests in the Side Hop Test and Crossover Hop Test. Methodology: for the study were selected 08 young men from 19 to 23 years old, athletes from futsal. Initially, the strength was evaluated using the isometric manual dynamometer, the hip extensor musculature and knee extensors, and the functional tests Side Hop Test and Crossover Hop Test were applied. To determine the correlation between muscle strength and performance in the tests, the Pearson correlation test was used, being considered significance level p≤0.05 Results: Only the Crossover Hop Test showed a significant correlation for the muscles tested. Conclusion: There is a strong correlation in the Crossover Hop Test for the Gluteus maximus muscle and a moderate correlation for the quadriceps muscle in futsal athletes from 19 to 23 years.
