Salto em queda, Índice de força reativa, Desempenho em sprint, Capacidade de mudança de direção, ciclo alongamento-encurtamentoResumo
Introdução: O desempenho no futebol universitário é caracterizado por sprints repetidos e mudanças frequentes de direção, o que impõe elevadas exigências neuromusculares relacionadas com a produção de força explosiva e com a execução rápida de movimentos.
Objectivo: O principal objectivo deste estudo foi examinar as relações entre variáveis derivadas do teste de salto em queda e o desempenho multidimensional em sprints e mudanças de direcção em jogadores de futebol universitários do sexo masculino.
Metodologia: Foi utilizado um desenho transversal correlacional com 35 jogadores de futebol universitários do sexo masculino. Os participantes realizaram um teste de salto em queda, testes de sprint a múltiplas distâncias e vários testes padronizados de mudança de direção. Foram conduzidas análises de correlação e modelos de regressão explicativos.
Resultados: A altura do salto foi identificada como o principal indicador explicativo do desempenho no sprint máximo de 40 metros. Em contrapartida, o índice de força reativa explicou consistentemente o desempenho em múltiplas tarefas de mudança de direção. Não foram observadas relações significativas com o desempenho em sprints de curta distância.
Discussão: Estes resultados são consistentes com pesquisas anteriores que indicam exigências neuromecânicas diferenciadas para a corrida de velocidade e mudança de direção.
Conclusões: Os resultados demonstraram relações específicas da tarefa entre as variáveis do salto em queda e o desempenho no futebol. A altura do salto foi associada à capacidade máxima de corrida de velocidade, enquanto o índice de força reativa esteve mais intimamente relacionado com o desempenho na mudança de direção. A interpretação específica da tarefa é essencial na avaliação neuromuscular.
