Métodos: participaram 28 eletricistas que trabalhavam na construção, manutenção e operação de redes de distribuição de energia. Todos do sexo masculino, sadios e aptos para a prática de exercícios físicos. As funções cognitivas foram representadas pelo tes...
The aims of the study were: 1) to analyze the exercise intensity in several phases (six phases of 15 min) of soccer matches; 2) to compare the match time spent above anaerobic threshold (AT) between different age groups (U-17 and U-20); and 3) to compare the match time spent above AT between players’ positions (backs, midfielders, forwards and wingabcks). Forty-four male soccer players were analyzed. To express...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of human head hair on performance and thermoregulatory responses during 10-km outdoor running in healthy men. Twelve healthy males (29.5 ± 3.7 years, 174.9 ± 4.3 cm, 72.7 ± 3.2 kg and VO2max 44.6 ± 3.4 ml.kg-1.min-1) participated in two self-paced outdoor 10-km running trials separated by 7 days: 1) HAIR, subjects ran with their natural head hair; 2) NOHA...
The aim of this study was to analyze the responses of creatine kinase [CK] expressed in different forms to the training load of professional soccer players during a competitive season. Twelve players (age, 24 ± 4 years) participated in the study. [CK] was analyzed before the pre-season (Pre), after the pre-season (Post), and in the competitive mesocycles (M1, M2, and M3). Results showed [CK] in the Pre, Post, M...
Exercise intensity monitoring has been essential for the control and planning of sports training. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess the chronic physiological demand of soccer players during an annual soccer season using blood biomarkers. Ten professional soccer players (21.2 ± 3.7 years) participated in this study. Blood samples were collected on the day before beginning of preseason (C1); at the...
O objetivo do estudo foi determinar o nível de correlação entre o desempenho nos 10m iniciais, dos 20m finais e no tempo total do teste de sprint de 30m, com o do salto vertical com contra-movimento (CMJ) entre jogadores de futebol. Participaram do estudo 167 jogadores das categorias profissional (N. 94) e júnior (N. 73). Foram determinadas as velocidades dos jogadores em 10m (V10), 20m (V20) e no total de 30m ...
Capacidade física é o termo utilizado para agrupar as capacidades força, velocidade, resistência, flexibilidade e coordenação. O desempenho físico de crianças é preocupação permanente entre os especialistas da área da saúde. Esse interesse justifica-se já que a atividade física desempenha importante papel na prevenção de doenças e melhoria da capacidade funcional. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as c...
A maioria das partidas de futebol é conduzida por treinadores que realizam todas as substituições de jogadores permitidas. Dessa maneira, torna-se de extrema importância o estudo destas substituições e sua influência na intensidade de esforço dos atletas. Há de se mencionar, ainda, que não há nenhum estudo na literatura que tenha investigado sobre esse tópico utilizando a frequência cardíaca (FC) como um parâme...
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the energy expenditure and heart rate (HR), expressed as mean and maximal heart rate (HRmax), along matches of an official soccer competition. Methods: Eighteen under-20 year old (U-20) soccer players from a first-division Brazilian soccer team were evaluated during 15 matches. The rela¬tionship between HR and oxygen uptake (HR/VO2 relationship) was established, a...
Soccer is a sport practiced worldwide, on all continents. It is considered an intermittent activity of high intensity and long duration, in which movements that require great strength and speed, such as jumps and sprints, result in high levels of muscle microtrauma, hampering athletes’ training and recovery. The present study aimed to evaluate the magnitude of changes in different markers of physiological deman...
