- Abstract
Futsal, with its tactical dynamism and agility, demands motor mastery and quick thinking. Soccer, on expansive fields, requires endurance and precise strategy. Physical condition is a crucial foundation in both, optimizing performance and preventing injuries. Both modalities exemplify the symbiosis between body and mind in the sporting context. The countermovement jump (CMJ) is used to measure the explosive power of the lower limbs in an individual. The purpose of this study was to analyse the differences in the CMJ outcomes (Jump Height (JH), Flight Time (FT), Power (P), Initial Speed) between young soccer and futsal players. Fiftyseven young people (soccer: n = 34; age = 14.09 ± 2.68 years old, height = 1.63 ± 13.91 m, body mass = 55.33 ± 14.67 kg; futsal: n = 23; age = 14.13 ± 2.69 years old, height = 1.66 ± 13.18 m, body mass = 56.76 ± 15.79 kg) took part of this study. The participant performed the CMJ from a contact mat using the Chronojump system (Chronojump-Boscosystem, Spain). Mann-Whitney and T-Test for Independent samples were used to verify differences between groups. We found that futsal players demonstrate notably higher power than soccer players (p < .05; 640.85 ± 238.25 vs 566.62 ± 166.23 watts, respectively), while other jump-related variables remain similar.
