Perfil antropométrico e fisiológico de atletas brasileiros de "rugby"

Abstract: O "Rugby" é um esporte bastante popular internacionalmente e em franca ascensão no Brasil. É caracterizado pela existência de duas posições táticas básicas ("forwards" e "backs"), cujos atletas apresentam demandas funcionais e características físicas distintas. Embora a literatura internacional apresente um número interessante de referências acerca do perfil antropométrico e fisiológico destes atletas, pouca atenção tem sido despendida aos atletas brasileiros. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar … Show more

“…Rugby is a sport that requires fast, strong, agile and tough players, so they can contribute their skills during the game, and that a training program, understand the key components of the physiological and physical demands of the sport. (12) Lopes et al (13) state that rugby is a sport that requires a variety of physiological responses from players because the game is marked by repetitive high-intensity running and body contact, which leads us to believe that a good condition physical is essential for reducing the number of injuries. Thus, it is essential training strategies that can better watch these athletes, whether amateur or professional.…”

“…In this sense, Cruz-Ferreira & Ribeiro (2013) suggests that the additional body fat of the forwards can serve as desirable protection in situations of contact with impact (defense) and be a disadvantage in speed and attack activities for the backwards. To corroborate this tendency of "protection", the analysis of the results of anthropometric evaluations in some studies shows that forwards present total body mass and percentage of adipose tissue significantly superior to backwards (Dinardi, Aquino, Ferreira, Bicalho, & Marins, 2015;Gabbett, 2000;Lopes et al, 2011).…”

“…Additionally, it is natural that the studies focused on the south and east axis (Alves et al, 2008;Lopes et al, 2011;Toledo, Ejnisman, & Andreoli, 2015) of the Brazil, given the greater development of these regions. Therefore, considering rugby is a sport with a recent expansion throughout the country and an greater involvement in physical activities (i.e.…”

“…Esto se debe a la especificidad de la función que exige de estos jugadores, con una estructura corporal más desarrollada (Dacres-Mannings, Rochester y Frail, 2001;Scott, Roe, Coats y Peipoli, 2003). Los estudios de Ezequiel et al (2013), Lopes et al (2011), Sant'Anna (2010) y Trindade (2010), en el Rugby Unión, evidenciaron diferencias significativas en relación con la masa, masa adiposa, masa libre de grasa de los backs en relación con las de los forwards. Estas distinciones son atribuidas por la posición que cada jugador ejerce dentro del campo.…”
