Summary: The structure of a soccer match is predominantly intermittent, characterised by synchronised and concomitant execution of low and high-intensity actions at different moments of the game, such as jumping, performing successive sprints and change of direction (COD). Furthermore, the repetition of such actions can contribute to the development of lower limb strength asymmetry. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between lower limb asymmetry on peak concentric torque (PTCON) of the hamstrings and quadriceps muscles at 60°/s with performance in the 20-meter sprint, repeated anaerobic sprint test (RAST) and change of direction test (COD) in professional female soccer players. The sample consisted of twenty-two professional female soccer players from a first-division club in Brazilian football. Two visits were carried out with an interval of 48 hours between them. In addition, a value of p < 0.05 was adopted for statistical significance. The results showed no significant correlations between limb asymmetry in quadriceps PTCON, time and speed in the 20-meter sprint, time and velocity in the COD test, and total time in the RAST. Furthermore, no significant correlations were observed between limb asymmetry in hamstring PTCON, time and speed in the 20-meter sprint, time and velocity in the COD test, and total time in the RAST. Asymmetry in lower limb strength may not influence physical performance in sprints and COD tasks such as those adopted in the present study.

Além disso, a repetição de tais ações pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de assimetria de força nos membros inferiores. O objetivo da presente investigação foi investigar a correlação entre assimetria de força de membros inferiores no pico de torque concêntrico (PTCON) dos músculos isquiotibiais e quadríceps a 60°/s e desempenho no sprint de 20 metros, running anaerobic sprint test (RAST) e teste de mudança de direção (COD), em jogadoras profissionais de futebol. A amostra foi composta por vinte e duas jogadoras profissionais de futebol de um clube da primeira divisão do futebol brasileiro. Foram realizadas duas visitas com intervalo de 48 horas entre elas. Além disso, foi adotado valor de p < 0,05 para significância estatística. Não foram observadas correlações significativas entre assimetria de membros no PTCON, tempo e velocidade no sprint de 20 metros, tempo e velocidade no teste COD e tempo total no RAST. Além disso, não foram observadas correlações significativas entre assimetria de membros no PTCON dos isquiotibiais, tempo e velocidade no sprint de 20 metros, tempo e velocidade no teste COD e tempo total no RAST. A assimetria de força de membros inferiores pode não influenciar o desempenho físico, em sprints, e tarefas de COD tais como as utilizadas no presente estudo.Edições Sílabas Didáticas2024-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.36154eng2182-29721646-107Xde Freitas, Fabio Henrique, Victor G.
