Diferenças de desempenho e correlação entre potência anaeróbia e salto vertical no futebol

The soccer should be specific in training and assessment. The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in test performance in power and vertical jumping in soccer. 18 soccer players players were divided into Group 1 (9) attackers and defenders (19.2 ± 0.5 age, 68.3 ± 2.8 kg, 177.5 ± 2.4 cm) and group 2 (9) and lateral midfielders (G2 - age 20.2 ± 0.7, 70 ± 1.5 kg, 174.4 ± 1.8 cm) they underwent two assessments, and the Wingate test on day 1 and implementation of vertical jumps with (VJCM) and without countermovement on day 2 (VJWM). The statistical analysis from data was done using the Shapiro-wilk for normality, and Pearson for correlation with significance P<0,05, software SPSS 17. Results: No differences in wingate test and evaluation of vertical jumps. The relations between the variables of wingate test and vertical jump were pointed out two relationships for each group and the association for the G1 peak absolute power (PAP) and the jumps both with a 0.7 correlation. As for G2 were relations between the peak and average power on the heels VJCM with 0.7 and 0.8 (p<0,05) respectively. Conclusion: We concluded there no performance differences between different positions, but relationship between anaerobic power and vertical jumping.
