Correlação entre os testes de força muscular isométrica e testes funcionais em atletas de futsal: posição ala

Abstract

Introduction: Futsal is the sport with the greatest number of players in Brazil, this sport demands high levels of fundamental abilities that may be associated with the occurrence of injuries. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of injury, as well as the muscular and functional condition of the athlete through variables such as strength and functional tests and agility, is relevant in the elaboration of programs with the objective of reducing the risk of injury and accelerating the return to the sport. Objectives: To verify the correlation between variables of muscular strength and functional performance in players of the Ala position in Futsal. Method: 11 male futsal players aged 20.0 (1.2), all players in the wing position, were selected. The athletes underwent a physiotherapeutic evaluation and the isometric muscular strength of the stabilizing muscles of the hip and knee was measured using an isometric manual dynamometer. After 3 days, functional tests were evaluated: Single Hop, Crossover Hop and Illinois Agility Tests. Correlation measurements were performed using the Pearson Correlation test (r), and considered p≤0.05. Results: The Crossover Hop and Illinois Agility Test tests showed moderate correlation with the abductor hip musculature, not observed other correlations. Conclusion: Functional tests have been shown to be a good alternative to evaluate hip abductor muscle strength.
