Treinamento funcional: efeitos na flexibilidade e força de acordo com o tipo de solo (compacto e arenoso)

Abstract

Introduction: Functional training aims to minimize functional disability by enhancing day-to- day capabilities focused on the fundamental movements of modern man such as crouching,

advancing, lowering, pulling, pushing, lifting and turning. Objective: to verify the effects on the flexibility and strength of the functional training in compact soil (SC) and sandy soil (SA). Method: experimental field research using the quantitative observational method, in order to identify and analyze the effects on flexibility and strength with the practice of Functional Training observing the differences of the terrain (compact and sandy). Flexibility and strength tests were applied, such as: Wells Bank protocol for flexibility and the protocols of explosive force MMII (Horizontal Jump), and explosive force MMSS (Medicine Ball Throw), Abdominal resistance for strength tests. Results: We found that there were better results for MMII and explosive MMSS in the sandy soil, obtaining values p <0.05 in relation to the compact soil. Conclusion: The most significant results in the MMSS are due to the proprioceptive system that transfers the strength of a stronger limb to a weaker limb and in the MMII due to the resistance offered by the sand, requiring more movement and with greater amplitude.
