ResumoObjetivo: Investigar a influência da dominância de membros sobre o desempenho dos membros inferiores em testes funcionais. Métodos: Oito atletas recreacionais (20,702,19 anos; 75,9015,30 kg; 1,730,07 m), de ambos os sexos, fizeram parte deste estudo-piloto. O desempenho funcional dos membros inferiores foi avaliado por meio de três testes de salto unipodal: hop test (HP), six-meter timed hop test (STHT) e square hop test (SHT), sendo considerado, em cada teste, o desempenho médio de três tentativas válidas, para a análise dos dados. Resultados: De acordo com o teste t-Student para amostras dependentes (=5%), não houve diferença significativa entre o desempenho dos membros dominante e não-dominante, nos três testes funcionais: HT (p=0,27), STHT (p=0,70) e SHT (p=0,23). Conclusão: A dominância de membros inferiores parece não influenciar de forma decisiva o desempenho funcional de atletas recreacionais.Palavras-Chave: dominância cerebral, membros inferiores, avaliação do desempenho. AbstractObjective: To investigate the influence of limb dominance on lower limb performance in functional tests. Methods: Eight recreational athletes (20.702.19 years, 75.9015.30 kg, 1.730.07 m), of both sexes, were took part of this pilot-study. The lower limb functional performance was evaluated by means of three single-leg hop tests: hop test (HP), six-meter timed hop test (STHT) and square hop test (SHT). Each test considered the average performance of three valid attempts to data analyzes. Results: According to the Student's t-test for dependent samples (= 5%), there was no significant difference between dominant and non-dominant limbs performance in the three functional tests: HT (p= 0.27), STHT (p= 0.70) and SHT (p= 0.23). Conclusion: The lower limb dominance does not seem to influence decisively the functional performance of recreational athletes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
