Duas semanas de pré-temporada melhoram a velocidade e força máxima de membros inferiores em jogadores profi ssionais de futebol? / Two weeks pre-season improve velocity and maximal strength lower limbs in professional soccer players?

A preparação física durante a pré-temporada é extremamente importante para incremento e manutenção da performance. No entanto, o tempo de preparação de jogadores profi ssionais de futebol tem sido cada vez menor em função de um extenso calendário de jogos. Verifi car o efeito em curto prazo (duas semanas) de um programa de treinamento físico em conjunto com o treinamento técnico/tático no desenvolvimento da força máxima absoluta e relativa, e na velocidade de jogadores profi ssionais de futebol. 15 atletas profi ssionais (26 ± 2,6 anos; 79,7 ± 9,3 kg; 183,8 ± 5,7 cm; 12,4 ± 2,5 %G) que disputavam a série A1 do campeonato paulista participaram do presente estudo. Foram realizadas duas semanas de treinamento durante a pré-temporada. A organização das sessões envolveu treinamentos de força máxima, potência, resistência de força e resistência anaeróbia. Foram mensuradas a performance de sprint 15m, a força máxima absoluta e relativa (agachamento) pré e pós-programa de treinamento físico. Foi observado melhora signifi cante na velocidade de sprint 15m (Pré 2,48 ± 0,10 s x Pós 2,40 ± 0,08 s; P<0,05; TE = moderado 0,80), bem como a força muscular de membros inferiores tanto em valores absolutos (kg) (Pré 121,6 ± 23,8 x Pós 138,5 ± 26,0; P<0,05; TE = moderado 0,71; Δ% = 12,2), quanto relativos (kg/kg-1) (Pré 1,50 ± 0,25 x Pós 1,73 ± 0,34; P<0,05; TE = moderado 0,92; Δ% = 13,3). Um programa de treinamento físico com envolvimento de diferentes manifestações de forças, durante apenas duas semanas (pré-temporada) foi sufi ciente para incrementar signifi cantemente a força máxima (absoluta e relativa) e a velocidade de sprint 15m em jogadores profi ssionais de futebol....(AU)

The physical preparation during the pre-season is extremely important for enhance and maintenance of performance. However, the time of preparation of professional soccer players have been less due to an extensive schedule of games. The objective of this study was to determine the eff ect in the short term (two weeks) of a physical training program in conjunction with technical training/tactical development of the maximum absolute and relative strength, and speed of professional soccer players. 15 professional athletes (26 ± 2.6 years; 79.7 ± 9.3 kg; 183.8 ± 5.7 m, 12.4 ± 2.5% G) with experience in state-level competitions series A1 participated in the this study. There were two weeks of training during the pre-season. The organization of the sessions involved training maximal strength, power, strength resistance and anaerobic resistance. Sprint performance was assessed 15m, the maximum absolute strength and relative pre and post-exercise training program. We observed signifi cant improvement in sprint speed 15m (pre 2.48 ± 0.10 2.40 ± 0.08 sx Post s; P <0.05; TE = moderate 0.80) as well as muscle strength lower limb both in absolute values (kg) (Pre 121.6 ± 23.8 138.5 ± 26.0 x Post; P <0.05; TE = moderate 0.71; Δ% = 12.2) and relative (kg / kg-1) (1.50 ± 0.25 x Pre post 1.73 ± 0.34; P <0.05; moderate TE = 0.92, Δ = 13.3%). An exercise program involving multiple manifestations of forces, for only two weeks (pre-season) was suffi cient to signifi cantly increase the maximum strength (absolute and relative) and the 15m sprint speed in professional soccer players....(AU)

Effect of linear and undulating training periodization models on the repeated sprint ability and strength of soccer players

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of linear and undulating strength-power training scheme on the repeated sprint ability (RSA) and lower body strength of soccer players. Method: Twenty soccer players (under-20 category) were split into 2 groups: the linear load (LL, n=10) and the undulating load (UL, n=10). In the commencement and at the end of the 6-week pre-season period, the RSA test (6 x 35m) and the 1RM parallel squat test (1RMsquat) were conducted. The LL and UL performed the same type and number of sessions. The training stimulus in the strength training was different between LL (Weeks 1 and 2 = Muscular Endurance; Weeks 3 and 4 = Strength; Weeks 5 and 6 = Power) and UL (daily load variation in the same week). Results: A improvement in RSAmean and 1RMsquat was detected in LL and in UL. No significant difference was noted between LL vs UL for all variables. Conclusion: Both groups improved maximal muscle strength in parallel back squat and RSA. UL induced a greater gain in RSA.(AU)
