Relation between body mass, stature and VO2max with measures of physical performance in football athletes
Abstract
Introduction: The women's football has established more attention at the last years, thus arousing the interest of research on variables that can predict the performance, such as anthropometric measures and physical tests. Objective: This study investigated the possible association between body mass, height and VO2max as the physical performance of female football athletes. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 18 female soccer players, whose characteristics age 19.8 ± 1.4 years old, height 1.65 ± 0.4 cm, body mass 59 ± 8 kg. Physical performance was evaluated through physical tests, as follows: maximum sprints of 10 and 30 meters, the Cooper test 12 minutes, Illinois test and vertical jump test. To test possible associations between body mass, height and VO2max with measures of physical performance tests were used the Pearson correlation (r) and linear regression (r2). For all analyzes we used a coefficient of statistical significance p <0.05. Results: The data showed only relationship between VO2max and the Illinois as being significant relationships inside 12 tested, 10 of them were negative, indicating at least a tendency that how much higher the body mass and height, lower are results in performance testing. Conclusion: According to the results observed, the indicated anthropometric measurements and weak correlations of VO2max with showed physical tests are not determining variables on the performance of soccer players.
