Treino de força para a prevenção de lesões no futebol profissional masculino

Abstract

Objective: To understand and analyze the efficiency of strength training programs with the intention of preventing injuries in professional soccer athletes. Method: Bibliographic review research of the narrative type. The material resources were classic scientific articles, systematic reviews and books. The databases used was the CAPES Periodicals Portal. For the selection of publications keywords written in Portuguese and English were used, according to the PICo Strategy. Results: Of the four studies included in this analysis, two carried out field research, analyzing a total sample of 119 athletes. It was found that great level of injuries achieved 3 days before the game and on the day of the game. Midfielders are the most injury prone followed by forwards. 35% of injuries were found in the adductor muscles, but when placed in strength programs using elastic bands as load, there was an increase in strength. Patterns such as non-contact, indirect contact and direct contact injuries were found. FIFA 11+ and PEP, used in warm-up were also found to be effective and FIFA 11+ reduced injuries by 46,1%. Conclusions: Strength training should be one of the means to prevent injuries. It is worth noting that of the studies researched and analyzed, only two were able to describe or recommend a type of training. More future intervention studies are needed.
