TREINAMENTO DE MANUTENÇÃO DE FORÇA NA REABILITAÇÃO DE LESÕES COMUNS EM ATLETAS DO FUTEBOL DURANTE O INVERNO

ENTRENAMIENTO DE MANUTENCIÓN DE FUERZA EN LA REHABILITACIÓN DE LESIONES COMUNES EN ATLETAS DE FÚTBOL DURANTE EL INVIERNO

ABSTRACT

Introduction:  The level of soccer athletics develops rapidly, requiring athletes to be more capable of training, strengthening, and competitive readiness. Often, these characteristics are compromised by preventable injuries resulting from excessive or unreasonable training, especially in winter. The outcome is the athlete’s absence from games during the season, compromising the team’s qualification.

Objective:  Improve the treatment and prevention of the major injuries caused to soccer athletes in winter.

Methodology:  The main injuries resulting from poor training and the best practices of awareness and recovery were researched. The selected actions were implemented on ten athletes with follow-up during the entire annual season, totaling 50 games.

Results:  An increase in the number of active athletes during the competition phase was observed in 7 games, and competition efficiency was increased by 14%.

Conclusion:  Soccer players can get better rehabilitation through practical strength maintenance training in the rehabilitation phase between winter training and competitions. This scientific and rational method has a significantly positive effect on the physical performance of athletes. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.
