Correlação entre percepção subjetiva do esforço e potência de membros inferiores em atletas de futebol

Abstract

Some soccer athletes undergo incessant training sessions from the base categories, and for this to be beneficial to them, sessions should have their training loads properly planned and controlled, with the rating of perceived exertion (PSE) and vertical jump being the alternatives. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the correlation between the rating of perceived exertion and the difference between pre and post training of lower limb power test in soccer athletes. Fourteen soccer athletes (under 16) were monitored over four training sessions. They had the following characteristics: height (173 cm +6.81), weight (64.43 kg +5.80) and fat percentage (14.74 +3.11). PSE was monitored using the e-trimp application (www.e-trimp.com.br), 15 minutes after the end of each training session. The jumps test were evaluated through the Jump System Pro jump platform, 10 minutes before and after the training sessions. The data were analyzed in the SPSS statistical program using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation. The correlation between the PSE and the difference of the relative power of the vertical jump test (pre / post training) was weak for all the sessions. Sessions 1 and 4 presented negative correlation (r = -0.184 / p = 0.530 / r = -0.159 / p = 0.587). Sessions 2 and 3 presented positive correlation (r = 0.010, p = 0.973 / r = 0.373 / p = 0.188), respectively. No statistically significant correlations were observed between the PSE and the relative power of jumping in the evaluated athletes.
