Abstract

Football is an intermittent sport characterized by high-intensity actions. One method commonly used to predict muscle power is to measure muscle mass. The present study aims to analyze the relationship between the thigh muscle area (TMA) and the height of countermovement jump test (CMJ) in a professional soccer players group. Twenty-nine athletes were evaluated. The AMC was predicted using the Frisancho protocol and the CMJ was done in portable force platform. The correlation between dependent and independent variables was tested by the Spearman coefficient (rs). The SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis, being significant p<0.05. Our data show that, on average, the athletes had an AMC of 201.9 ± 23.8 cm² and the height in the CMJ of 44.1 ± 3.9 cm. Player's group showed low variability in CMJ (8.8%) and moderate variability in AMC (11.8%). We did not observe correlation between AMC and CMJ (rs=-0.103; p=0.596). Therefore, it is concluded that in this athletes group, the thigh muscle mass cannot predict the lower limbs power.
