“…Few reports are available regarding physiological analyses of female futsal athletes [11,41,56,57]. Here, we demonstrate that male athletes present elevated anaerobic parameters when compared with females.…”

“…Since both metabolisms are relevant to futsal, protocols to evaluate these parameters are ex-tremely important for training control and prescription. Although physiological evaluation of aerobic metabolism has largely improved in futsal [8][9][10][11], further efforts are required for the determination of anaerobic parameters under specific futsal characteristics.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mechanical parameters from the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST2×17.5), agility performance from the Illinois Agility Test (IAT) and all-out 30-second tethered running (AO30) in college futsal athletes. It also investigates whether these protocols are capable of identifying differences between sexes. Twenty subjects were evaluated. The IAT was applied on a specific course and performance was considered as the total time (T.T). The RAST2×17.5 consisted of six maximum efforts in a shuttle exercise of 2x17.5 m per bout. The AO30 was conducted under maximal effort on a non-motorized treadmill. Maximum, mean and minimum power were determined for RAST2×17.5 and AO30. Mean power from RAST2×17.5 was inversely and significantly correlated to T.T regardless of sex (male: r=–0.76; p=0.010; female: r=–0.89; p=0.010). A similar association was noticed for maximum power for females (r=–0.94; p=0.001). The AO30 maximum and mean power were significantly correlated with T.T (male: r=–0.67; p=0.031 and r=–0.66; p=0.035, respectively; female: r=–0.64; p=0.046 and r=0.66; p=0.035, respectively). Maximum power from RAST2×17.5 and AO30 were significantly correlated (male: r=0.68; p=0.030; female: r=0.72; p=0.019). Our results reinforce the adoption of field-based tests like RAST2×17.5 and IAT for futsal, since significant relationships among these parameters and AO30 results were obtained. Moreover, these protocols differentiated male and female athletes by mechanical and agility parameters, proving their application under specific field evaluation.

“…Physical demands and aerobic fitness have a link with fatigue, and as reported in our study, female futsal players showed a low aerobic fitness level (IR1 = 920±164 m). A previous investigation showed that elite level female futsal players have lower aerobic fitness (VO 2 max = 45.3±5.6 ml ∙ kg -1 ∙ min -1 ) than elite and professional female soccer players (from 49 to 58 ml ∙ kg -1 ∙ min -1 ) [ 18 ]. Coaches and sport scientists can use this new information to plan futsal training sessions, and to quantify the workload more appropriately.…”

Match analysis technology has been extensively used in football, but there is limited literature on its use in futsal. Despite its increased popularity, the female futsal game model has never been quantified. The aim of this study was to quantify locomotor and mechanical activities performed during a non-competitive female futsal match, measuring the differences between the first and second half. Sixteen female futsal players of the Italian 2nd division were enrolled (age 27±5 years, height 1.65±0.09 m, body weight 56.9±7.7 kg, BMI 20.9±1.9, fat mass 21.5±2.9%). Locomotor and mechanical activities were recorded by means of the 10 Hz GPS StatSports system. Games were performed on a 38x18 m synthetic grass outdoor pitch. Significant differences were found between the first and second half in total distance (1424±114 and 1313±113 m, p<0.05), relative velocity (70±6 and 64±6 m min-1, p<0.05), high speed running (28±16 and 22±19 m, p<0.05) and high metabolic distance (80 ± 29 and 69 ± 28 m, p<0.05). The match analysis of female futsal matches provides useful information about its external load demands. Female futsal players decreased the workload in the second half compared to the first one during this non-competitive match. It was found that fatigue impairs the performance in the second part of the game. Coaches and physical trainers can obtain useful information to design training programmes taking into account the quantification of locomotor and mechanical activities performed in this study.

“…Its popularity has continued to grow and so the investigation of its physiological demands and specific adaptations to its practice (Barbero-Alvarez et al, 2015). In this aspect, scientists investigated the role played by lower limb muscle power in performance and injury prevention (Croisier et al, 2008;Milioni et al, 2016).…”

The current investigation aimed to find the difference between right and left lower limb strength of quadriceps and hamstring muscles and describe young futsal players' explosive strength and anaerobic power. The study comprised 12 university male U-20 futsal players (74.5 ± 9.7 kg;173.2 ± 7.2 cm; 18.7 ± 1.2 yrs.). Isometric strength was measured using an isometric dynamometer, lower limb explosive strength was assessed through the Countermovement Jump and anaerobic power was estimated with the Wingate test. Initially, results were displayed through descriptive statistics. Magnitude-based inference with respective Confidence Intervals (CI=90%) and effect size were used to compare inter-lower limb strength. No substantial differences were found between right and left lower limb, to knee extension and flexion. Team's explosive strength and anaerobic power were 36.7 ± 7 cm and 998.3 ± 125.9 W, respectively. These findings suggest that young futsal players' performance may be less affected due to inter-lower limb asymmetries.
