Comparação entre os indicadores antropométricos e de aptidão física de atletas de futsal e futebol

Abstract

There is football as a national sport may be one of the answers due to the high demand for training of this modality since childhood, Machado and Gomes (1999) describes futsal growth as a great alternative to ball practice. Following this line of thinking futsal from its base has become an important entry sport for football. However, the size of the field and the court, the duration of the matches, the different requirements regarding the positioning, interfere in the evaluation of the capacities in each modality. Thinking about this, the objective of the present study is to know how the physical and anthropometric characteristics are related in football and futsal, and what the possible difference between them in relation to their specificity. For this, a database was used belonging to a soccer team that counts on data of 46 athletes of the modality. As for the futsal data, the collection counted on 18 athletes, with age between 15 and 17 years. When analyzing the anthropometric values of the athletes of both modalities, no statistical difference was found between the values of mass, stature, sitting height and skinfolds of both sports, which suggests that the anthropometric profile is not a differential for sports success, already in the physical valences evaluated the 10 and 30 meter speed race, showed that the soccer athletes have more speed, which corresponds to the theory described by Catlin et al., (2013) that the pace of the game favors the recovery and also stimuli with greater intensity. In a brief reflection, he realized that the dynamics of the game interferes directly in the profile of the athletes in terms of speed, but there is no great difference in the other valences evaluated.
