Introdução: O nível de potência muscular pode ser considerado um dos aspectos fundamentais para o desempenho de jogadores de futsal.Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito das atividades realizadas durante uma partida de futsal sobre a potência muscular de membros inferiores.Métodos: Foram avaliados 12 atletas do sexo masculino de uma equipe da categoria Sub-17. A potência muscular de membros inferiores foi avaliada por meio do teste salto vertical, em três momentos: antes, no intervalo e logo após o término do jogo. Foram monitorados o volume total e o tempo de participação/recuperação dos atletas no jogo. Em estatística descritiva, utilizou-se média e desvio-padrão. Para avaliar a distribuição dos dados quanto à normalidade, foi utilizado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk. Para analisar as diferenças entre os três momentos, utilizou-se ANOVA one-way, seguida pelo post-hoc de Tukey.Resultados: Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas na potência muscular de membros inferiores nos diferentes momentos da partida, indicando não haver queda no desempenho físico dos atletas que exija potência muscular dos atletas dos atletas ao longo do jogo.Conclusão: Os resultados do presente estudo indicam que atletas treinados de futsal exibem equilíbrio entre o estresse fisiológico causado pelas ações intensas do jogo e a recuperação dos atletas durante o próprio jogo, assegurando o desempenho da potência muscular dos jogadores. Esses achados podem contribuir com técnicos e preparadores físicos de futsal, no planejamento do treino e na seleção/utilização dos atletas durante o jogo.Lower limbs muscle power in  different moments of an official futsal gameIntroduction: The muscular power level can be considered one of the fundamental aspects for the performance of futsal players.Objective: To evaluate the muscular power of lower limbs of futsal athletes in different moments of an official game.Methods: Twelve male athletes, 16.10 ± 0.49 years, 168.00 ± 5.19 cm, body weight of 59.30 ± 4.88 kg, and fat percentage of 10.90 ± 0.67%, belonging to a team in the U-17 (under seventeen years old) category. Athletes made the vertical jump before, during and after the game. The total volume and the time of participation / recovery of the athletes in the game were monitored. We used mean and standard deviation as descriptive statistics. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the data normality. ANOVA one-way, followed by Tukey post-hoc was used to analyze the differences between the three moments.Results: Results did not indicate statistical differences muscle power of lower limbs in the different moments of the match, indicating that there is no decrease in athletes 'physical performance that requires athletes' muscular power during the game.Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate that trained futsal athletes show a balance between the physiological stress caused by the intense actions of the game and the recovery of the athletes during the game itself, ensuring the performance of the muscular power of the players. These findings may contribute to futsal coaches and coaches in planning the training and in the selection / use of athletes during the game.

É comum tanto os praticantes recreacionais como atletas de alto rendimento realizarem atividades preparatórias antes de um exercício físico alvo, como uma forma de prevenir lesões. Contudo, o efeito do aquecimento na melhora do rendimento em atividades, que exijam força e potência, é questionável. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a influência de dois testes físicos para potência muscular, utilizados como atividades preparatórias, na melhora da potência do teste de salto horizontal. Foram avaliados 51 indivíduos, fisicamente ativos e não obesos com média de idade de 22,1 ± 3,0 anos, acadêmicos do curso de Educação Física da Universidade Estadual do Norte do Paraná – UENP. Como forma de aquecimento foram utilizados os testes de salto vertical e o Sprint de 50 metros. A potência foi avaliada pelo teste de salto horizontal. Os dados foram analisados pelo pacote estatístico GraphPad Prism 5.0, com índice de significância de p<0,05. Os dados obtidos não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os protocolos, demonstrando não haver influência na realização dos testes preparatórios com o desempenho na potência pelo salto horizontal. Conclui-se que a prática das atividades preparatórias propostas neste estudo não potencializou o aumento da potência muscular dos membros inferiores para realização do salto horizontal.Palavras-Chave: Exercício; Potência Muscular; Protocolos.AbstractIt is common for both recreational and high-performance athletes to perform preparatory activities prior to a targeted physical exercise as a way to prevent injury. However, the effects of warm-up on performance improvement in activities that require strength and power are questionable. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of two physical tests for muscular power, used as preparatory activities, to improve power in the horizontal jump test. Fifty-one physically active and non-obese individuals with a mean age of 22.1 ± 3.0 years were evaluated, students of the Physical Education course at the State University of Northern Paraná - UENP. Vertical jump tests and 50 meter Sprints were used as a form of warm-up. Power was evaluated by the horizontal jump test. Data were analyzed using the statistical package GraphPad Prism 5.0, with a significance index of p <0.05. The data obtained did not present significant differences among the protocols, demonstrating that there was no influence of preparatory tests performance on power performance in the horizontal jump. It is concluded that the practice of the preparatory activities proposed in this study did not increase the muscular power of the lower limbs for the horizontal jump.Key-words: Exercise; Muscular Power; Protocols.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Physiotherapy can contribute towards recovering or preventing physical and sensory alterations in diabetic neuropathy patients. Our objective was to create and apply a protocol for functional assessment of diabetic neuropathy patients' lower limbs, to guide future physiotherapy. DESIGN AND SETTING: Clinical study at the University Hospital and teaching/research center of Universidade de São Paulo. METHODS: An intentional sample of diabetic neuropathy patients was utilized. The protocol was divided into: (1) preliminary investigation with identification of relevant clinical diabetes and neuropathy characteristics; (2) thermal, tactile and proprioceptive sensitivity tests on the feet; (3) evaluations of muscle function, range of motion, lower limb function, foot anthropometry. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 57 years, and they had had the diagnosis for 13 years on average. Distal numbness and tingling/prickling were present in 62% and 67%, respectively. There were tactile sensitivity alterations above the heel in 50%, with thermal sensitivity in 40% to 60%. The worst muscle function test responses were at the triceps surae and foot intrinsic muscles. Longitudinal plantar arches were lowered in 50%. Decreased thermal and tactile sensitivity of the heels was found. There was a general reduction in range of motion. CONCLUSIONS: The results provided detailed characterization of the patients. This protocol may be easily applied in healthcare services, since it requires little equipment, at low cost, and it is well understood by patients.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the symmetry of anthropometry and muscle function in cross-country skiers and their association to vertical jumping power. Twenty cross-country skiers were recruited (21.7 ± 3.8 yrs, 180.6 ± 7.6 cm, 73.2 ± 7.6 kg). Anthropometric data was obtained using an iDXA scan. VO2maxwas determined using the diagonal stride technique on a ski treadmill. Bilateral functional tests for the upper and lower body were the handgrip and standing heel-rise tests. Vertical jump height and power were assessed with a counter movement jump. Percent asymmetry was calculated using a symmetry index and four absolute symmetry index levels. At a group level the upper body was more asymmetrical with regard to lean muscle mass (p = 0.022, d = 0.17) and functional strength (p = 0.019, d = 0.51) than the lower body. At an individual level the expected frequencies for absolute symmetry level indexes showed the largest deviation from zero for the heel-rise test (χ2 = 16.97, p = 0.001), while the leg lean mass deviated the least (χ2 = 0.42, p = 0.517). No relationships were observed between absolute symmetry level indexes of the lower body and counter movement jump performance (p > 0.05). As a group the skiers display a more asymmetrical upper body than lower body regarding muscle mass and strength. Interestingly at the individual level, despite symmetrical lean leg muscle mass the heel-rise test showed the largest asymmetry. This finding indicates a mismatch in muscle function for the lower body.

The Microsoft Kinect is becoming a widely used tool for inexpensive, portable measurement of human motion, with the potential to support clinical assessments of performance and function. In this study, the relative osteokinematic Cardan joint angles of the hip and knee were calculated using the Kinect 2.0 skeletal tracker. The pelvis segments of the default skeletal model were reoriented and 3-dimensional joint angles were compared with a marker-based system during a drop vertical jump and a hip abduction motion. Good agreement between the Kinect and marker-based system were found for knee (correlation coefficient = 0.96, cycle RMS error = 11°, peak flexion difference = 3°) and hip (correlation coefficient = 0.97, cycle RMS = 12°, peak flexion difference = 12°) flexion during the landing phase of the drop vertical jump and for hip abduction/adduction (correlation coefficient = 0.99, cycle RMS error = 7°, peak flexion difference = 8°) during isolated hip motion. Nonsagittal hip and knee angles did not correlate well for the drop vertical jump. When limited to activities in the optimal capture volume and with simple modifications to the skeletal model, the Kinect 2.0 skeletal tracker can provide limited 3-dimensional kinematic information of the lower limbs that may be useful for functional movement assessment.

The aim was to find out, compare and evaluate the eficiency of take-off preparation for selected indicators of motor performance in athletes in the category of younger pupils. The monitored group consisted of 5 girls (average age 12.4 ± 0.22 year) and 4 boys (average age 12.9 ± 0.12 year) regularly participating in the training process three times a week. During 8 weeks in the racing period, take-off preparation was applied in the training pro-cess, consisting of two different batteries of take-off drills. The take-off preparation took place two to three times a week, taking into account the participation of athletes in the race. We performed the following tests to determine the eficiency of the take-off preparation to change the level of motor performance in selected indicators: 50m run, 20m cursory run, standing long jump, vertical jump with countermovement without arm swing and repeated vertical take-off drills without arm swing in 10s. We found that in the output measurement, the athletes of monitored group achieved an improvement in motor performance in tests for explosive power of lower limbs and the maximum running speed tests.
