Objetivo: Verificar a estatura dos goleiros pertencentes às categorias de base de clubes formadores e analisar por categorias, por clube e o grupo como um todo. Materiais e Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 36 indivíduos do sexo masculino, divididos nas categorias: pré-infantil (n=9), infantil (n=9), juvenil (n=9) e júnior (n=9). Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas para obtenção da idade, peso, IMC, %G e estatura, sendo a última como objetivo principal do estudo. Utilizou-se o teste t para comparar a diferença das médias de estatura dos goleiros. Para efeito de interpretação, foi adotado o nível de significância de p≤0,05. Resultados: Os goleiros da categoria pré-infantil apresentaram média de estatura com diferença estatisticamente significativa (p≤0,05) quando comparado com os goleiros das categorias Juvenil (p=0,018) e Júnior (p=0,004). A diferença das médias de estatura dos goleiros dos clubes participantes não apresentou valor estatisticamente significativo. Discussão: As categorias iniciais formam a base do futebol profissional. Preconiza-se que para alcançar o “estrelato” o atleta deve possuir características indicadoras para o desempenho esportivo. Conclusão: Existe uma preferência em selecionar goleiros de alta estatura. Os clubes avaliados apresentam características homogêneas em relação à estatura dos goleiros e quando comparada como um todo, a média da estatura tem valor favorável à prática do futebol profissional.

A avaliação da força muscular em equipamentos isocinéticos é utilizada como indicador do desempenho muscular em diversos esportes. O futsal apresenta-se como uma modalidade de caráter intermitente com alta exigência funcional. Objetivo: Avaliar o desempenho isocinético da musculatura extensora e flexora de atletas de futsal feminino. Métodos: 10 atletas de futsal feminino com idade (20,1 ± 3,1 anos); massa corporal (58,6 ± 5,2 kg); estatura (160,0 ± 5,0 cm) e índice de massa corporal (22,8 ± 1,9 kg.m 2 ) realizaram uma avaliação isocinética no Dinamômetro Isocinético Cybex Ortothron II (concêntrico/concêntrico). Foram realizados em uma série de seis repetições em baixa velocidade (60º/seg) para análise do torque relativo, e vinte repetições em alta velocidade (240º/seg) para análise da potência, iniciando pelo lado dominante do membro inferior. O teste t-Student foi aplicado para avaliar a diferença entre valores obtidos pelo membro dominante (MD) e não dominante (ND). Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa para o torque relativo dos extensores entre MD com o ND, porém significativo entre os flexores. Tratando-se da potência da extensão do MD com ND foi encontrada diferença significativa, porém, não sendo a mesma encontrada para o movimento de flexão. Analisando a média da diferença bilateral entre extensores e flexores, os resultados apresentaram normalidade (<10%). Também encontramos normalidade para a relação extensores/flexores em MD e ND (50-70%). Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo fornecem valores de referência do desempenho muscular isocinético, relacionados não apenas à capacidade de gerar torque, mas também da potência, diferença bilateral e relação flexor/extensor de atletas de futsal feminino, sendo parâmetros importantes para a avaliação e a prescrição do treinamento.

O objetivo deste estudo foi traçar o perfil de iniciação de jogadores participantes da liga futsal 2011. Participaram do estudo 114 jogadores de nove equipes de seis estados. Para tanto, foi utilizada a técnica de observação direta extensiva com a aplicação de um formulário, com questões referentes à idade dos atletas, idade de início da prática sistemática, idade em que foi federado. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se a contagem, a estatística descritiva percentual, média e desvio padrão. Os resultados apontaram que a média de idade foi de aproximadamente 25,42 (3,67); 46% dos atletas iniciaram sistematicamente a partir dos 10 anos; 41% dos jogadores tiveram um vínculo federativo a partir dos 11 anos. Conclui-se que os participantes, em média, iniciaram a prática sistemática e o vincularam-se a federação de seu estado em idades recomendadas pela literatura, não havendo a necessidade de passar por um processo de especialização precoce na infância, refutando a ideia de que as crianças precisam ser especializadas cada vez mais cedo para atingir o sucesso na categoria adulta.

O consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2 máx) tem se apresentado como melhor parâmetro para a avaliação da potência e capacidade aeróbia, tornando-se importante conhecer suas variáveis para elaboração de treinamentos físicos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar o VO2 máx de jogadores de futsal que atuam em diferentes posições. Participaram voluntariamente deste estudo 37 atletas do gênero masculino (15,39 ± 0,72 anos de idade). Estes sujeitos foram divididos em 4 grupos, de acordo com a sua posição de jogo (ala, pivô, fixo ou goleiro). Para medir a capacidade aeróbia máxima dos indivíduos foi aplicado o teste de 3200m de Weltman (1989). Os resultados encontrados para cada grupo foi o seguinte: alas = 58,8 ± 2,36 ml.kg-1.min-1; pivôs = 49,8 ± 4,3 ml.kg-1.min-1; fixos = 53,3 ± 2,84 ml.kg-1.min-1; goleiros = 44,9 ± 4,99 ml.kg-1.min-1. O VO2 máx do grupo dos alas foi estatisticamente maior em relação aos demais. Os grupos formados pelos pivôs e fixos apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante em relação ao grupo dos goleiros, embora não tenham apresentado diferença entre si. Conclui-se que a posição de jogo pode influenciar os valores de VO2 máx de jogadores de futsal. Isso sugere que a preparação física para cada um desses atletas deve respeitar a especificidade dos gestos desenvolvidos.

Introduction: For Leitão (2004), in most sportive modalities the obtainment of different kinds of information can be the threshold between the preparation that leads to success and that which leads to failure. Hence, we consider the game analysis of fundamental importance in collective sports. Objective: The present studies were analyses, interpreted and characterize the types of offensive actions as well as spatial zones of finalization where the goals were scored by the Brazilian National Beach Soccer Team at the 2012 Samsung Intercontinental Cup. Materials and Methods: At first we analyzed only as observers and through DVDs the 25 goals scored in the five matches played by the Brazilian Beach Soccer Team, regarding the statistical procedures we went through the descriptive statistics of the absolute, relative and average kind. Yet in a second moment, the data analyzed and classified by spatial zone and offensive action were compared to pertinent scientific literature. Results: Analyzing the data collected, it was possible to observe that the Brazilian Beach Soccer Team scored 25 goals in five matches, goal occurring in all kinds of standardized offensive actions, but with a higher percentage of incidences of positional attack followed by a dead ball. Regarding the spatial zones we use a classification standard goals occurred in almost all of the zones with the exception of two spatial zones. There being greater occurrence in the average right zone followed by the left offensive zone. Discussion: The goals occurred through the entire offensive tactic actions being the positional attack and dead ball the most effective forms to get to the goal post, however, regarding the zone of origin of the goal, goals happened in almost all of them, with the exception of the left defensive and the right offensive zones. Conclusion: We believe that the results obtained in this study may serve as a methodological reference for training organization and elaboration considering that there is virtually no scientific production related to the theme.

This study has as its theme the comparison between vertical jump and rebound of students from a school of sports in Taubaté to see if there is a relationship between who jumps higher and who can grab more rebounds. Through a qualitative study with individuals aged 12-16 years, of both sexes, the objective of this study is to use protocols to obtain data relating to each of the students as jumps and the number of rebounds. Furthermore, we intend to apply tests that meet the needs of this research. The results show that there was no relationship between vertical jump and rebounds, as the highest individual analyzed had only one rebound, while smaller ones had more success, winning top number. Thus, this study concluded that, because it is sports initiation, it takes into consideration the time of the foundation of the ball to rebound as highly decisive factor. Another relevant factor found was the lack of interference from the height of the individuals analyzed in time during the procedure rebound. Key words: Basketball, Jump, Rebound, School Sports.

This paper presents the results of questionnaires designed to investigate young athletes in relation to the supporters behavior and its influence on the athlete’s performance during the futsal’s game. We know that the supporters have an important ability of influencing the performance of athletes, which can at times act as a motivational or a stressful factor, depending on features related to the person and the situation, in different amount in each athlete. For being young athletes in process of personality development, many authors suggest that this lack of maturity leads to lack of concentration and stress due to the pressure put by the supporter’s crowd, showing more difficulties in controlling their emotions and reactions. This paper confirms the suspicion of young athlete’s behavior under the intervention of the supporters reacting positively or negatively, showing emotional balance in some situations and unbalance during the match.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the responses of heart rate (HR) in youth football players in official matches with those found in intermittent maximal test and also with two equations for predicting maximum HR (HRmax) commonly used. Seventeen athletes from the state level (16.3 ± 0.7 years) participated and were divided into 2 groups: 1 (G1) who attended the matches in full and 2 (G2) consisted of players who were substituted for 3 competitive games championship statewide. On days separated by at least 96 h the FC of athletes were recorded through heart monitors (Polar Team System ®) during the test YO - YO Intermittent Recovery Level 2 (YY2) and in 3 games with the purpose of considering the maximum obtained in these situations. Moreover, the prediction equations of HRmax 220 - age (FC220) and 208 - 0.7 x age (TNK) were used for comparisons. The results showed that there was no difference (P> 0.05) between the game and the equation HRpeak TNK. All other data (FC220 vs. HRpeak vs. YY2) differed significantly (P <0.05) between them. We conclude that the the equation TNK (HRmax = 208 - 0.7 x age) is the closest to the maxima (peaks) obtained in games and therefore more appropriate to estimate this parameter in young football players.
