Evaluation of manual strength, flexibility and skill levels in a game situation in football players
Abstract
Introduction: Muscular strength and flexibility are fundamental to an adequate technique in high-performance sports; in addition, the development of these valences tends to decrease injury numbers in soccer athletes. Objective: To assess manual strength, flexibility and dexterity in a game situation in field soccer athletes. Methods: A quantitative and cross-sectional study involving 33 players from the U20 team. A manual force test (dynamometer) and a flexibility test (bank of wells) were applied in order to analyze the level of strength and flexibility of these players. The in-game dexterity test was performed by the Pioneer Instrument for Measuring Dexterity in the Football Game in a Regular Situation (PIMSPARS). Results and Discussion: Athletes' flexibility ranged from 20 to 44 (mean = 31.0 ± 6.6). The manual pressure force test, performed with the dynamometer, ranged from 30 to 50 (mean = 44.2 ± 5.4). The levels of flexibility and manual grip did not influence the behaviors evaluated during the game (p> 0.05). In game situations, the athletes did not present completely favorable results. It is understood that the manual grip strength values presented differ according to the sport modality, gender, athlete level, age and type of training. This test should compose the tests to identify potential sports talents. Conclusion: The present study showed a positive relationship between levels of flexibility and strength in athletes. However, these physical valences did not influence athletes' behavior during the game.
