Fases do ciclo menstrual em atletas de futsal e suas influências no desempenho físico

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We all know the importance of sport in our lives, but it has not always been allowed for all audiences, as is the case for women. The practice of some sports that require greater physical imposition and contact between participants was prohibited for them. Futsal, for example, was a modality that suffered this repression and prohibition, and only after a long period of depreciation and struggle did women get permission and were introduced into the sports environment, being a little more valued, becoming competitive. and professionals. In this process of professionalization, and the search for results and performance, it is essential to understand and consider the main characteristic difference of women in relation to men: the menstrual cycle and the transformations that occur in the woman's body during this period. With this, this project seeks to study the influence of the different phases of the menstrual cycle on performance in futsal athletes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study will be carried out in a female futsal team in the city of Pelotas/RS and will have 18 athletes, aged between 18 and 38 years. To collect data, a questionnaire will be used to characterize the sample and the following tests will be used to assess physical capacities: Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), Yoyo test, Square Test, 10/20 meters Test, Wells Bench, Squat Jump (SJ) and Countermovement Jump (CMJ). The tests will be performed during three moments of the menstrual cycle, in the follicular, luteal and premenstrual phases.
